Predestination Calmly Considered From Principles of Reason: In Consistency With the Nature of Things, and the Scriptures of Truth; With Answers to Seven Queries on Predestination (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Exploring predestination through reason and scripture, this work argues that God’s eternal will underpins all events.
Originally published in the wake of thoughtful debates on whether the future is fixed, this book presents a structured case for divine decree. It treats God’s wisdom, power, and immutability as the foundations for predestination and explains how these ideas relate to human responsibility and praise.
The book is organized as a sequence of letters that build from first principles to practical implications, including how prophecy, history, and everyday experience fit within a single divine plan. It emphasizes that God’s will determines outcomes while leaving human liberty intact in moral judgment.
- How the divine will, wisdom, and power are connected in creation and providence
- Why immutability and foreknowledge are seen as compatible with praise and blame
- Arguments about the fixed order of events and the role of human responsibility
Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, scriptural approach to the topic of predestination and divine sovereignty.
