Andy Nasselli has an excellent post on the issue of free will over at the Reformation 21 blog.

I have been reading through Calvin’s Institutes along with the Reformation 21 “Blogging the Institutes” this year and found the following passage by Calvin (Book 1, Chapter 9) to be very thought-provoking… “Those who, rejecting Scripture, imagine that they have some peculiar way of penetrating to God, are to be deemed not so much under [...]
