The Counter Reformation Today

You can find Evangelical philosophers today advancing the cause of the Counter-Reformation. Here we examine why Molina and the Jesuits opposed the Reformation, and how that same cause is championed by contemporary Molinists. The essence of the Counter-Reformation is an argument against sola Scriptura and sola gratia. This discussion leads us into the distinction between primary and secondary causes, and how the Reformed view of God’s predestination provides both the scripturally and philosophically accurate understanding of the created human will.
