Abstract
What is predestination? What does the Scripture teach; what was the understanding of the Church; and how did modern theologians in the 20th cent. approach to it all? The key concepts, along with predestination, are foreknowledge, predetermination and preordination. The author recapitulates how the conceptual framework developed throughout the Old and New Testament, paying then special attention to the Gospels, the Apocalypse and the Pauline epistles.
Then the author analyzes the key terms used to desribe various facets of the concept of predestination and providence.
