It's often been said that what Luther and Calvin did was to "return the Church to Augustine..."
Most of the debates surrounding Reformed Theology - both in the 16th Century and the 21st Century - can also be found in Augustine's debates with Pelagius.
It all really comes down to that age old debate between Free Will and Determinism. Even the pre-Christian pagan philosophers of Greece and Rome disputed these points.
