ReviewsThe title of the book mentions two of the most important events among Protestants and Roman Catholics in the early modern period dealing with the nature of divine grace:The Synod of Dordt and the Congregatio de Auxiliis. Yet the preposition governing those two events hints at the way [...] to view them: not as mere intra-tradition talking-shops, but as snapshots of the history of dogma which represent a larger conversation in these Western traditions. When one moves beyond or, perhaps, dives deeply into the Remonstrant and Contra-Remonstrant debates leading to and subsequent to Dordt and the Congregatio, one finds a rich inter-theological discourse of interpreting and polemicizing within and between all of these groups [...] The truth of this story is not as difficult to believe after reading the various essays in Beyond Dordt and De Auxiliis . Catholics and Protestants relied on each other in early modern polemics. Because of the lingua franca of the day--Latin--theologians were able to keep up with what other Christian traditions in Europe were teaching. Beyond Dordt and De Auxiliis reminds us that just as the early modern theologians read outside their own tradition to understand it more fully, so contemporary Protestants and Roman Catholics will best understand our own traditions by reading earnestly outside of them. If there is any hope of reconciliation between Protestants and Roman Catholics, such reading will be essential.Dr. Michael Lynch (Calvin Seminary) in Ad fontes July 2020|9789004377110|

SynopsisBeyond Dordt and 'De Auxiliis' explores post-Reformation inter-confessional theological exchange on soteriological topics including predestination, grace, and free choice. These doctrines remained controversial within confessional traditions after the Reformation, as Dominicans and Jesuits and later Calvinists and Arminians argued about these critical issues in the Augustinian theological heritage. Some of those involved in condemning Arminianism at the Synod of Dordt (1618-1619) were inspired by Dominican followers of Thomas Aquinas in Spain who had recently opposed the vigorous defense of free choice by Jesuit Molinists in the Congregatio de auxiliis (1598-1607). This volume, appearing on the 400th anniversary of the closing of the Synod of Dordt, brings together a group of scholars working in fields that only rarely speak to one another to address these theological debates that cross geographical and confessional boundaries., An exploration of post-Reformation inter-confessional theological exchange between Reformed, Dominican, Arminian, and Jesuit theologians on controversial soteriological topics. These essays bring theological works into meaningful points of contact in a European-wide struggle with the legacy of Augustine.
