St. Augustine Contra Calvinism On Free Will
St. Augustine Contra Calvinism On Free Will
MHFM: Some Calvinists think they have a kind of historical link with St. Augustine. But St. Augustine, of course, was not a Calvinist. Here’s a passage in which St. Augustine clearly affirms free will (contrary to Calvinism).
St. Augustine, Against Julian, Book 1, Chap. 9, AD 422: “For if you say that the root of evil arose from the free will of a good nature created by God (which the Catholic truth teaches), he [i.e. a Manichaean] will very easily overcome you with those words of your own in which you say: ‘The root of evil cannot be located in a gift of God,’ since free will is without doubt a gift of God.”
