Free Choice in Early Modern Reformed Thought with Layne Hancock and Michael Lynch

Jordan discusses free choice in early modern Reformed thought with Layne Hancock and Michael Lynch. They cover topics like: Does early modern thought on free choice map onto how most think about free will today in any sense? What cautions might be appropriate for contemporary students (and even pastors) to be conscious of as they read older sources? Are the early moderns drawing on similar sources or are they being original/creative in any sense? What are the basic senses of freedom, contingency, possibility, and necessity? What is diachronic and synchronic contingency? And more!
