Doctrine Of The Will (1846)

The Doctrine of the Will, written by Asa Mahan and first published in 1846, is a philosophical and theological exploration of the nature of human will and its relationship to divine sovereignty. Mahan argues that the will is a distinct faculty of the human mind, capable of making choices and exerting its own agency, but ultimately subject to the sovereignty of God. He explores the implications of this view for various theological doctrines, including predestination, sin, and salvation. Mahan also engages with the ideas of other philosophers and theologians, including Jonathan Edwards and John Calvin. The Doctrine of the Will is a seminal work in the history of American theology, and remains a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation about the nature of free will and divine providence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
