Fisk offers a critical reappraisal of Jonathan Edwards's Freedom of Will, interpreting Edwards from within his own tradition, Reformed Orthodoxy (±1550-1750), avoiding the outdated paradigms of the conventional interpretation of Edwards and his tradition, a so-called deterministic, reconciliationist Calvinism, and demonstrating from primary sources, such as Harvard and Yale commencement theses and quaestiones, that Edwards departed ways with Reformed Orthodoxy's robust and highly nuanced view of freedom of will, contingency, and necessity.

Book excerpt: The Freedom of the Will is a work by Christian reformer, theologian, and author Jonathan Edwards which uses the text of Romans 9:16 as its basis. It was first published in 1754 and examines the nature and the status of humanity's will. The book takes the classic Calvinist viewpoint on total depravity of the will and the need of humanity for God's grace in salvation. Although written long before the modern introduction and debate over Open Theism, Edwards' work addresses many of the concerns that have been raised today over this view. Edwards responded that a person may freely choose whatever seems good, but that whatever it is that seems good is based on an inherent predisposition that has been foreordained by God.

Book excerpt: Is God sovereign over our "free will"? If God is sovereign over the human will, are we responsible? What is the nature of morality? What constitutes sin? "In this timeless classic, Jonathan Edwards gives biblical answers to various profound questions regarding the sovereignty of God, free will, God's foreknowledge, determinism, moral agency, desire, choice, good, and evil. In a totally engaging and uplifting way, he carefully shows that man is indeed free, but that God is still sovereign and still solely responsible for man's salvation. And that God's act of regeneration is the basis for repentance and conversion, the human actions. He argues that free will is an extension of and connected to the grace of God. "Freedom of the Will" is relevant to every Christian, because it is a good tool for learning of the greatness of Christ's grace, in overcoming our minds and hearts and loving us to the uttermost. This should be in the library of every Christian family. "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy"- Romans 9:16

Book excerpt: Having graduated from Yale at the mere age of seventeen, Jonathan Edwards is ranked among America's most pre-eminent philosopher-theologians. Edwards wrote Freedom of the Will in 1754 while serving in Massachusetts as a missionary to a native tribe of Housatonic Indians. In this text, Edwards investigates the contrasting Calvinist and Arminian views about free will, God's foreknowledge, determinism, and moral agency. As Edwards attempts to resolve the contention surrounding these topics, he relies on a variety of textual resources including the Bible and philosophy works of enlightenment thinkers. This book can be challenging due to Edwards' emphasis on philosophical reasoning, but Edwards strives to educate his audience by frequently defining confusing terms and explaining controversial passages in depth. Freedom of the Will is relevant to every Christian because it addresses difficult questions about desire, choice, good, and evil.

Book excerpt: Jonathan Edwards is one of the greatest thinkers in American history, and while "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God" has become his most famous work, "The Freedom of the Will" is his best. Two and a half centuries after Edwards wrote it, this book is still the premiere and most thorough argument for the complete sovereignty of God. In the book, Edwards alleges that a person or action cannot be morally good (or bad) if the agent performing the action is incapable of doing otherwise. Another area Edwards focuses on is discussing the Armenian contention that the will actually is free. Edwards takes this idea on by challenging what exactly is meant by the will, and therefore our actions, being "free". These questions touch on just a few of the topics concerning the human will and God's sovereignty that Jonathan Edwards discusses in "The Freedom of the Will".
