A Careful And Strict Inquiry Into The Modern Prevailing Notions Of That Freedom Of The Will

""A Careful and Strict Inquiry into the Modern Prevailing Notions of that Freedom of the Will"" is a philosophical treatise written by Jonathan Edwards, a prominent American theologian, in 1754. The book is an in-depth exploration of the concept of free will, particularly as it relates to religious belief and moral responsibility. Edwards argues that the prevailing notions of free will in his time are flawed, and that true freedom of the will is only possible through a deep understanding of God's sovereignty and predestination. He draws on both philosophical arguments and biblical scripture to support his ideas, and engages with the work of other prominent thinkers on the subject, such as John Locke and Samuel Clarke. The book is considered a landmark in the history of American philosophy and theology, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
