Jerome Zanchius

Jerome Zanchius was a 16th-century theologian known for his views on predestination and providence, integral concepts in Reformed theology. He believed that God has predetermined the destinies of individuals, choosing some for salvation and others for condemnation. Zanchius emphasized that God's providence governs all events in the world, affirming His sovereignty and control over creation. His writings aimed to reconcile God's justice with His grace, suggesting that God's plans, though mysterious, are ultimately aimed at His glory and the good of His creation. Zanchius contributed significantly to the understanding of God's unchanging nature and His relationship with humanity.
