I had explored more of Richard A Muller's books(The Unaccomodated Calvin and Christ and the Decree: Christology and Predestination in Reformed Theology from Calvin to Perkins) regarding Calvin's views of Predestination and his overall thought in context.

So far, I end up rather confused particularly when I went to take a read from these two essays

Both essays makes clear that Calvin believes in free will. But, the first by A.N.S Lane gives a more "libertarian" outlook(same with Muller). According to these two authors, Calvin is not a determinist.

The second labels Calvin as a compatabilist with respects to free will.

I hope the former Reformed guy can explain this better.

So far all I got is,
a)Calvin does believe in some sort of free will
b)He does appropriate elements of Medieval Catholic scholasticism
c)God decrees but on a human level, we have free will.

My knowledge isn't perfect and I certainly haven't finished reading both books by Muller. But I hope someone with a good background in Reformed theology can chime in on the matter
