Showing results for "Free Will" in History

On July 4, 1861, the schooner S. J. Waring set sail from New York on a routine voyage to South America. Seventeen days later it limped back into New York's harbor with the ship's black cook and steward at the helm. While the story of that ill-fated voyage is one of the most harrowing tales of captivity and survival on the high seas, it has been tragically lost to history. Now reclaiming William Tillman as the American hero he deserves to be, historian Brian McGinty takes listeners on a courageous journey.

In this book, St. Augustine examines the age old question and implications of God's sovereign grace and human free will. Representing Augustine's polemic against the Pelagian heresy, (which claims that man attains justification mostly through his deeds). The work is built on a compilation of biblical texts that represents a sound argument for human will under the guidance of divine grace.

In this award-winning podcast mini-series, journalist Harry Robinson uses his extensive experience in interviewing cults and religious sects to give profiles on various fringe religious beliefs. No judgement or any sense of divine superiority (which wouldn't make much sense from a host with no religion), just sheer curiosity as to what makes some people think that they have found the answers to all of life's most profound questions. Who knows, maybe we might even be enlightened along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
