The Early Church Before Augustine on Free Will and Original Sin
~ Winkie Pratney ~

Let me just say, this was one of the best presentations I have seen. I will follow it with one I like but the early AI voice is tough.

Winkie Pratney lectures on Augustinianism, Pelagianism, and the Early Church regarding free will and original sin. What did early Christianity, or the early Christians, believe on these issues? Is Calvinism really historic Christianity as Calvinists claim?

This compliments my “kick-off post” on this topic of Calvinism: Augustinian Determinism VS. The Early Church

Did Augustine Corrupt The Church With Gnostic Doctrine? Beyond Augustine Documentary
~ Jesse Morrell ~

Beyond Augustine is a church history and theological documentary that examines the free will debate in light of the Early Church and the Gnostics. Did Augustine corrupt the church with Manichean or Gnostic doctrine? Is Calvinism or Reformed Theology really orthodox and historic Christianity, as Calvinists claim? Or are the Calvinists and Augustinians the spiritual descendants of the Gnostics and Manicheans? Were the Pelagians really the heretics in their free will debate with Augustine? These are the type of controversial questions Jesse Morrell examines in this documentary.
