The Compatibility of Free Will and Predestination in the Middle Ages

Jordan and Joel talk with Richard Cross about Scotus and the Reformed reception and/or rejection of his ideas. They cover topics like: What do we mean when we say words like univocity, voluntarism, and nominalism? What are the general narratives that exist regarding Aquinas, Scotus, and Reformed reception of them? What areas of theology and metaphysics are shared by the Reformers and the medieval scholastics? Where do they diverge? And more!
