An Enquiry Into the Doctrines of Necessity and Predestination: In Four Discourses (1821) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120148872)

An Enquiry Into The Doctrines Of Necessity And Predestination: In Four Discourses is a book written by Edward Copleston and published in 1821. The book is a philosophical and theological inquiry into the concepts of necessity and predestination, which have been debated by scholars and theologians for centuries. The author explores the various arguments for and against these doctrines, drawing on the works of philosophers such as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and John Locke, as well as Biblical texts and Christian theology. The book is divided into four discourses, each of which examines a different aspect of the debate, including the nature of free will, the relationship between God's sovereignty and human agency, and the implications of these doctrines for moral responsibility and accountability. Copleston's writing is clear and accessible, making this book an important contribution to the ongoing discussion of these complex and controversial topics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
