Freedom of the Will (In Modern English)

First published in 1754, Freedom of the Will is Jonathan Edwards's classic defense of God's sovereignty and humanity's moral responsibility. Responding to "modern prevailing notions" of self-determining freedom, Edwards argues-through rigorous Scripture exegesis and razor-sharp logic-that true liberty is not the power to will independently of motive or nature, but the power to act according to one's strongest inclination, and that the gospel alone renews the will for genuine holiness.This modern-English edition preserves Edwards's full argument while rendering his prose clear for today's reader. Inside you'll find concise explanations, careful answers to common objections, and pointed applications showing why assurance, worship, and ethical living all rest on a right view of the will and grace. Ideal for students of theology, pastors, and anyone wrestling with the tension between divine sovereignty and human choice.
