One of America's preeminent philosophical theologians, Jonathan
Edwards (1703-58) was a central figure in New England's first Great
Awakening. Famed for his stirring sermons, Edwards remains a
significant influence on modern religion, and this in-depth
analysis of Calvinist beliefs represents his most important
contribution to Christian thought.
Romans 9:16 ("It is not of him that willeth") serves as the text
for Edwards' examination of the nature and state of man's will.
Written in 1754 while the author served as a missionary to Native
Americans, this polemic raises timeless questions about desire,
choice, good, and evil. Edwards contrasts the opposing Calvinist
and Arminian views of free will and addresses issues related to
God's foreknowledge, determinism, and moral agency. His copious
quotations from scripture, along with citations from the works of
Enlightenment thinkers, support a thought-provoking exploration of
mankind's fallen state and the search for salvation.
