The Jesuits And The Battle Over Free Will (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425331009)

""The Jesuits And The Battle Over Free Will"" by Rene Fulop-Miller is a historical book that delves into the philosophical and theological debates surrounding free will in the Catholic Church during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book primarily focuses on the Jesuits, a religious order within the Catholic Church, and their role in the controversy over free will. Fulop-Miller explores the Jesuits' beliefs on free will, which were heavily influenced by the teachings of their founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola. He also examines the opposing views of other Catholic theologians and philosophers, including the Jansenists, who believed in predestination and the limited power of human will. The book provides a detailed account of the various debates and controversies that arose within the Catholic Church during this time, including the condemnation of certain Jesuit teachings by the papacy. Fulop-Miller also discusses how the Jesuits' views on free will influenced their missionary work and their interactions with non-Christian cultures. Overall, ""The Jesuits And The Battle Over Free Will"" offers a comprehensive and insightful look into a significant period in the history of the Catholic Church and its theological beliefs.THIS 74 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Power and Secret of the Jesuits, by Rene Fulop-Miller.
