116: Erasmus, The Danger in Assertions

Hey, careful, man, there’s a theologian here!

Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Erasmus of Rotterdam’s discourse on The Freedom of The Will. In his debate with Martin Luther, how did Erasmus lose the battle but win the war over the doctrine of free will? How does it continue to influence the church today?

Text: Luther and Erasmus: Free Will and Salvation
