Apart from all his other activities, the Dutch humanist Dirck Volckertszoon Coornhert (1522-1590) turns out to have been a theologian who, as such, deserves much more attention than he is given nowadays. This point has become clear by an analysis of some passages from Coornhert’s main theological work Vande Predestinatie. In particular, his theories of free will versus necessity and of divine permission are explained. The latter is shown to be standing in the medieval scholastic tradition.
