Unconditional Election in the Tenth-Century Romans Commentary of Atto of Vercelli
After introducing Atto’s life and writings, this essay analyzes Atto’s exegesis of Romans 9:11-26, explaining his belief that the cause of divine election is God’s decree not foreseen faith, works, or merits. It ends with a translation of that passage from the commentary, along with some selections from the commentaries of Haimo of Auxerre. It will be published as a chapter in a book called Chosen Not for Good in Me edited by David Gibson and Jonathan Gibson.
