Abstract
Predestination was a doctrine much debated among Protestants. Interpretations of Romans 8 and 9, for example, differed, and these differences were accompanied by dogmatic disputes, for in the sixteenth century the distinction between exegesis and dogmatics was not yet great. Thereby, it is difficult to ascertain whether the difference in interpretation determined the dogmatic dispute, or vice versa. This chapter offers an overview of the distinct positions within the Lutheran and Reformed traditions of the sixteenth century, in conjunction with related doctrines such as justification and atonement. Ongoing reflection by later Protestants on the problems raised by the doctrine of predestination led to more nuanced opinions. Scholasticism did not lead to a hardening of the doctrine, but on the contrary to a moderation.
