Synopsis

This book explores the theological debate surrounding the nature of regeneration, revealing the opposing viewpoints of the author and an anonymous reviewer. The author argues that sinners are incapable of using the means of regeneration, defining it as a divine act rather than a human choice. In contrast, the reviewer proposes that sinners can participate in the process through a series of mental acts that lead to a preference for God. The author challenges this view, questioning whether the sinner's affections and motivations can truly change before regeneration has occurred. The book delves into the concepts of selfishness, desire, and moral agency, examining the extent to which human nature is driven by self-interest. The author's insights provide a nuanced understanding of the complexities of human motivation and the nature of spiritual transformation.
