Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to throw some light on possible late-medieval backgrounds of Erasmus' well-known propositions on the relationship between God's grace and human free will in his De libero arbitrio diatribe sive collatio. Etienne Tem-pier, the Bishop of Paris, condemned some theses in 1270 and again in 1277. For the discussions about the doctrine of grace, one of the most important was thesis 21: tNothing happens by contingency, but everything by necessityt. Followers of Augustine's doctrine of grace had to prove that their claim of dependency on God's grace avoided such philosophical determinism. Here we find a discussion of man's inability tto discern, to wish, or to accomplisht any morally good act without God's help. Keywords:Bishop of Paris; DOCTRINE; ERASMUS; Etienne Tem-pier; MEDIEVAL THEOLOGIANS; ROTTERDAM
