Do We Really Have Free Will?
Agency is the belief in free will. The reformation, contrary to what protestants are talke about to day, is calvin and luther's revolt from erasmus claiming that we have no free will. A lot of the burning of the stake, in the battle froma 15 25 to about 17 hundred, is over this issue of free will. And it's the dutch and the liberal catholics who believe in it. The calvinists, the lutherans deny it. People are burnt at the stake over it. We get methodism and modern protestantism, which it very strongly believes in human efficacy and will.
