Publisher's Synopsis
Freedom of the Will Vindicated: Or President Edwards������� Necessarian Theory Refuted is a book written by James G. Stewart in 1876. The book is a critique of the theological and philosophical views of Jonathan Edwards, a prominent American theologian and preacher of the 18th century. Edwards was a determinist who believed that human actions are predetermined by God and that humans have no free will. Stewart argues against Edwards������� views and defends the idea of human free will. He provides a detailed analysis of Edwards������� arguments and refutes them using logic and reason. Stewart also draws on other philosophical and theological sources to support his arguments. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Edwards������� theory. Stewart examines Edwards������� views on the nature of God, the concept of sin, and the role of human agency in the world. He also discusses the implications of Edwards������� determinism for morality and ethics. Overall, Freedom of the Will Vindicated is a well-researched and thought-provoking critique of Edwards������� theological and philosophical views. It offers a compelling defense of human free will and challenges readers to think deeply about the nature of God, morality, and human agency.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
