Publisher's Synopsis
""A Refutation of Hereditary Total Depravity"" is a book written by Aylett Raines in 1859. The book is a critique of the Calvinistic and Arminian belief in the doctrine of hereditary total depravity, which holds that all humans are born sinful and incapable of doing good. Raines argues that this belief is not supported by scripture and is a dangerous and harmful idea that has led to sectarianism and intolerance. He provides a detailed analysis of the theological arguments used to support the doctrine and offers alternative interpretations of biblical passages. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the nature of sin and salvation in Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
