"The De divina praedestinatione liber was written in 850-51 at the request of two prelates while John the Scot resided at the court of Charles II, grandson of Charlemagne. It is his earliest attested work, a refutation of the heretical teaching of Gottschalk on double predestination. Both John and Gottschalk claimed to base their interpretation on St. Augustine, and both continued to be subjects of controversy during the decade between 850 and 860." —Theology Digest"Mary Brennan's translation is as helpful as her foreword. The rendition into English of Madec's text from the Corpus Christianorum is careful. The book is elegantly produced and a delight to read." —The Medieval Review
