by Here again is the age old question of free will vs. predestination… or is it? No. There was NO debate or conflict in the church between human free will and divine sovereignty UNTIL Augustine introduced it.
Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, interviews one of today’s foremost Augustinian scholars, Dr. Ken Wilson. Dr. Wilson graduated as a medical doctor from the University of Texas system, followed by an Orthopedic Residency and Hand Fellowship. He then taught as a full-time academic professor at Oregon’s medical school for many years. While maintaining his hand surgery practice, Dr. Wilson decided to pursue theology. He graduated magna cum laude from Faith Lutheran Seminary with a M.Div. degree, then magna cum laude from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary with a Th.M. degree. Dr. Wilson attended The University of Oxford in the United Kingdom where he received his doctorate in theology with the thesis, “Augustine’s Conversion from Traditional Free Choice to ‘Non-free Free Will’: A Comprehensive Methodology.“
