Book excerpt: The following book is the author's examination of Jonathan Edwards' work, often referred to as 'The Freedom of Will'. It was first published in 1754 and examines the nature and the status of humanity's will. The book takes the classic Calvinist viewpoint on total depravity of the will and the need of humanity for God's grace in salvation. Here, the author, Albert Taylor Bledsoe, an Episcopal priest, disputes Edwards' thesis, which in his own words is said to be "founded in error and delusion".
