What is Man? Chapter 3 The Religious-"Man the Pawn."

“And this foreknowledge extends over the whole universe and over every creature. By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he has decided in his own mind what he wishes to happen in the case of each individual. For all men are not created on an equal footing, but for some eternal life is pre ordained, for others eternal damnation. . .”
John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 11
