John Colet on Law and Liberty

>3tudy of reformation theology has drawn increased attention to the contexts of writers on difficult issues such as free will and predestination. In isolated passages, substantive differences between writers on such issues may seem elusive; often, similar interpretations of key scriptural texts obscure import- ant shifts in focus and emphasis.^One crucial context is the writer's concep- tion of law in its civil, Hebraic, Mosaic, and Christian forms; discussions of law, especially important in Western Christianity, focus attention on the possibility and limit of liberty and therefore on the question of voluntary action
