Sin, Grace and Free Will

"In the third and final volume, Matthew Knell takes his readers through the crucial thinkers of the early modern and modern period. Tracing the new traditions of authority in the interpretation of scripture, and the continuities and developments that emerge through the work of thinkers such as Luis de Molina, Arminius, Jonathan Edwards, and Karl Barth, Knell illuminates his key concepts of Sin, Grace and Free Will anew. Considering the impact of such ideological and cultural shifts as Modernism and the Enlightenment, as well as the growing influence of agnostic or atheistic philosophy, his nuanced, source-focussed approach is an indispensable primer for any beginning scholar.
