Dionysius the Areopagite on the impossibility of Total Depravity



All Calvinists (and recovering Calvinists) may find this brief post interesting: "Dionysius the Areopagite on the topic of Total Depravity" by Taylor Marshall over at Called to Communion blog.

Excerpt:

In his treatise In On the Divine Names, Dionysius directly asks whether there can be such a thing as “total depravity”. He answers that there cannot be total depravity because that which is totally deprived of all goodness would also be deprived of all existence since anything created is also ontologically good–as confirmed by the refrain of Genesis chapter 1 “and God saw that it was good”.
