Key Notes
Glossary
The belief that God decided before creation who would be saved and who would be damned.
Glossary
Calvinist doctrine, as Jiang explains it, that God eternally decides both salvation and damnation and the believer cannot change that decision.
model
Double predestination destroys the church's control over salvation but creates an anxiety over whether one belongs to the elect.
definition
Double predestination says God has already decided who will be saved, making doubt itself evidence of insufficient faith and therefore intensifying anxiety.
model
Calvin's double predestination denies Church authority by making salvation a divine decision already settled before Church mediation can matter.

In response to a student prompt, Jiang says Protestant logic can treat suicide less as sin than as weakness or evidence of insufficient faith, while Durkheim treats suicide as disconnection from community.
