The Freedom of the Will is a classic work by Christian pastor and writer Jonathan Edwards. Published in 1754 as a response to the teaching of Arminian pastor Daniel Whitby, the book examines the nature of mankind's will and the providential will of God. Starting with Romans 9:16, "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy" Edwards argues for a traditional Calvinistic view of the work of salvation. Alacrity Press is proud to republish this Christian classic that is as relevant today as when it was first published.
