Freedom of the Will is relevant to every Christian because it addresses difficult questions about desire, choice, good, and evil.
In this book, Edwards investigates the contrasting Calvinist and Arminian views about free will, God's foreknowledge, determinism, and moral agency. As Edwards attempts to resolve the contention surrounding these topics, he relies on a variety of textual resources including the Bible and philosophy works of enlightenment thinkers.
Jonathan Edwards, Having graduated from Yale at the mere age of seventeen, is ranked among America's most preeminent philosopher-theologians. This book can be challenging due to Edwards' emphasis on philosophical reasoning, but Edwards strives to educate his audience by frequently defining confusing terms and explaining controversial passages in depth.
