By James G. Stewart

Book Overview

""Freedom of the Will Vindicated: Or President Edwards' Necessarian Theory Refuted"" is a book written by James G. Stewart in 1876. The book is a critique of the theological and philosophical views of Jonathan Edwards, a prominent American theologian and preacher of the 18th century. Edwards' views on the nature of human will and the role of God in determining human actions were controversial at the time, and Stewart sets out to refute them.Stewart argues that Edwards' views are overly deterministic and deny the existence of human free will. He contends that humans have the ability to choose their actions freely and that God does not determine every aspect of human behavior. In doing so, Stewart defends the concept of human agency and argues that it is essential for moral responsibility and accountability.The book is written in a scholarly and rigorous style, drawing on a range of philosophical and theological sources. It is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the nature of human freedom and the relationship between God and humanity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
