The Christian's Instructor Instructed: Containing Remarks Upon A Late Publication Of The Rev. Josiah Hopkins, A.M., Pastor Of The Congregational Church In New-Haven, Vr., With A Short Appendix, Containing Extracts From The Articles Of Addison Consociation, With Brief Remarks Upon Them by Noah Levings, minister of the gospel. Noah Levings's tract is a polemical critique of Hopkins's Christian's Instructor, and of Addison Consociation's articles on divine sovereignty and church discipline. The work is organized as a public disputation on key theological topics, including the Universal Government of God, the Moral Government, the Character of Man, the Atonement, Regeneration, Natural Ability, Election, and Perseverance. Levings argues for human liberty and a universal offer of grace against Calvinist determinism, employing scriptural exegesis and doctrinal analysis to challenge decrees, predestination, and related doctrines. An appended appendix presents extracts from Addison Consociation's articles with remarks. The book exemplifies early American polemical theology and the debate over free agency and grace within Protestantism.
