The aim of this paper is to discuss the implicit theology underlying a central assumption of the fourth part of the Ars Conjectandi the affirmation of divine omniscience and omnipotence. From the standpoint of medieval theology,Bernoulli's assumption involved two different problems:whether we were really free to choose and what moral significance aprobabilistic election may have. We will discuss its intellectual roots, exploring the correspondence with Leibniz in the light of the controversy between Dominicans and Jesuits as to God's concurrence in our actions. By way of conclusion, we will briefly discuss the moral significance that might be granted to the Ars Conjectandi from a Calvinist perspective, and in what precise sense probability was rendered a secular tool for decision making
