The Catholic Augustine and His Novel Doctrine of Determinism

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 14, 2023 / Comments Off

Many Calvinists are prone to refer to church history as though it started at the Reformation or drop back to the time of Augustine, thereby skipping all church history other than the Reformation.
