Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Augustinian Doctrine of Predestination
This general description of the structure and defence of the doctrine of predestination will perhaps be sufficient as an introduction to the present treatise. N akedly stated, the doctrine is simply paradoxical, and those who are acquainted with no more than the mere statement of it, are apt to feel surprise and perplexity how it could have been maintained by the pious and thoughtful minds that have maintained it. But it must be admitted that its paradoxical character is diminished, when we come to examine its grounds and construction. It happens in this case, as it does in many others, that the surprise which the conclusion produced is lessened by an acquaintance with the premisses, the steps by which it was arrived at.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and controversial doctrine of predestination, a cornerstone of Christian theology that has generated intense debate for centuries. The author dives deep into the historical roots of this doctrine, tracing its development from the early Church Fathers, particularly Augustine of Hippo, through the Middle Ages and into the Reformation era. The author examines the arguments both for and against predestination, dissecting the philosophical and theological underpinnings of each position. Key questions addressed include the nature of free will, the role of divine grace in salvation, and the implications of an all-powerful God for the concept of human responsibility. While the author meticulously traces the history of the debate, the book's true value lies in its exploration of the enduring intellectual and spiritual challenges posed by predestination. It invites the reader to engage in a thoughtful and critical examination of this fundamental Christian belief, questioning the nature of divine sovereignty and the relationship between human action and divine decree. This book provides a fresh perspective on an enduring theological puzzle, offering insights that will resonate with anyone interested in the intersection of faith and reason.
