| Résumé: | Although Peter Martyr Vermigli is well recognized for his integration of Thomism with Reformed theology, there is no consensus on whether to consider Thomas Aquinas a dominant influence on his doctrine of predestination. Recent scholarship argues that Gregory of Rimini's influence is greater than Aquinas. This essay provides strong evidence to the contrary for the influence of Aquinas on Vermigli's early exposition of predestination as a Reformer. Vermigli not only drew upon Aquinas's doctrine in general, as he does elsewhere, but reproduced the details of Aquinas's article in the Summa on whether foreknowledge of merits is the cause of predestination. This finding has significance for understanding the development of Vermigli's thought, his relation to Thomist scholasticism, and his mature writings on predestination. In general, this evidence increases the importance of Thomas as a formative influence on Vermigli's thought. |
