The Will
Book •
Jonathan Edwards' treatise commonly referred to as 'The Nature of True Virtue' and his writings on the will (notably 'The Freedom of the Will') examine human volition, divine sovereignty, and moral responsibility from a Reformed theological perspective.
Edwards argues for a compatibilist view where divine sovereignty and human moral responsibility coexist, presenting rigorous philosophical and theological arguments about motivations and moral agency.
His works significantly influenced American religious thought and philosophical theology in the 18th century and beyond.
Edwards' dense, technical prose addresses scholars and ministers grappling with predestination and human choice.
His writings remain central to studies of early American religion and philosophy.
