MAHAN ON THE WILL. This is an important work upon an important
subject. The liberty of the human will I regard as a first truth.
But like some other first truths, it has been extensively denied in
theory. A most false and injurious philosophy of the will has
extensively prevailed in the christian church, and has given birth
to a brood of theological dogmas alike absurd and ruinous. The
above named work was designed and is I think highly calculated to
correct and rebuke the philosophy just alluded to. It is a fair, an
able, and it seems to me a thorough statement and discussion of the
subject, and a complete refutation of the dogma of a necessitated
will. The book is small, cheap, and for a metaphysical discussion
has the rare quality, of perspicuity. Since errorists every where
teach and affirm the doctrine of a necessitated will, and since
this is the stronghold of infidelity in all its forms, every youth
and every person should acquaint himself with the truth and
doctrine of the will and with the method of exposing error upon
this subject. This treatise of President Mahan, presents the
subject in a condensed form, and places it in a strong light. Every
family should possess and make themselves familiar with this work.
It needs only to be read and understood to be appreciated as a
highly important work, and one which cannot fail to exert a most
important influence in the cause of truth. Charles G. Finney, Dec.
1847. ASA MAHAN (1799-1889) was America's foremost Christian
educator, reformer, philosopher, and pastor. He was founding
president of two colleges and one university, where he was able to
inspire numerous reforms, publish authoritative philosophical
texts, and promote powerfulrevivals like his close associate
Charles Finney. He led the way on all important fronts while being
severely persecuted. He introduced the new curriculum later adopted
by Harvard, was the first to instruct and grant liberal college
degrees to white and colored women, advised Lincoln during the
Civil War, and among many other remarkable achievements, was a
father to the early evangelical and holiness movements.
