| "You see your whole heresy shipwrecked upon the misery of infants!" (Augustine, OPUS IMPERFECTUM, 5,22 Pagels P 135) |
Perhaps you're familiar with the account of Augustine's conflict with Julian over the doctrine of original sin which is most certainly a foundation of Augustine's views on total depravity and other matters modern churchmen would label as Calvinist. I think the case could be made that this Julian's challenge clarified Augustine's thinking. Augustine, and through him the churchmen of subsequent centuries, could no longer avoid the question.
Calvinists are the legitimate heirs of Augustine's most compelling theological thought.
