Peter Martyr Vermigli and Predestination - The Augustinian Inheritance of an Italian Reformer

Zusatztext This is a bold book which future research may well prove sound in its central conviction. It deserves to provoke fresh scrutiny of the placing of predestination in the late medieval and early Protestant thought. Above all! it should attract a new readership to Peter Martyr Vermigli. Klappentext This study is in its broadest sense an inquiry into the intellectual origins of the Reformed branch of Protestantism generally, but inaccurately, designated Calvinism. More specifically, it concerns one of the early theologians who gave formative shape to Reformed theology, Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499-1562), and focuses on his adoption of the soteriological doctrine of gemina praedestinatio, double predestination: divine election and divine reprobation. Zusammenfassung An inquiry into the intellectual origins of the Reformed branch of Protestantism in the OXFORD THEORETICAL MONOGRAPHS series. The text focuses on Vermigli's soteriological doctrine of double predestination, illustrating an important aspect of continuity between late medieval and reformation thought.
