| Abstract
|
:
|
Dr. Steven Long of Ave Maria University argues that, according to the fourth canon of the Council of Trent’s Decree on Justification, any and every will “moved and awakened by God” cooperates by assenting to prevenient grace. Indeed, he argues that man’s cooperation is the very effect of prevenient grace. In this essay, I argue that Dr. Long’s proposed interpretation is ruled out by the text, history, and tradition of the decree. A rejection of that interpretation, moreover, entails a rejection of the doctrine on grace and free will held by Dr. Long, which is otherwise known by the name “physical premotion.”
