Albert Pighius: The Historical Context (Show Down Series) Part 1
Get ready to step into the 16th-century theological arena as we kick off our series on John Calvin’s epic clash with Albert Pighius. In this episode, we set the historical and theological stage for their legendary showdown. We’ll dive into the turbulent world of the Reformation, where Calvin’s doctrine of the bondage of the will and predestination was taking shape, and Pighius, the fierce Catholic theologian, was ready to counter with his defense of free will. From Geneva to Frankfurt we’ll explore the stakes, the players, and the ideas that set these two on a collision course. Plus, we’ll hint at Calvin’s surprising decision 'not to insult a dead dog' after Pighius’ death, pausing his critique in a moment of restraint. Join us for a lively mix of history, theology, and Reformation intrigue as we prep for the debate to come.Note: I used an AI Clone of my voice for this episode (for convenience and to save time), but everything in the episode is written by me (Matt White 🙂) Hosted on Acast.
