This inaugural volume in The Works of Jonathan Edwards is his major
contribution to theology and stands as a leading document on Calvinist
thought. Mr. Ramsey's introduction provides a fresh analysis of Edwards'
theological position, includes a study of his life and the intellectual
issues in the America of his time, and examines the problem of free will
in the philosophical context of today and in connection with Leibniz,
Locke, and Hume.
