Publisher's Synopsis
This volume comprises a series of letters written by David H. Metcalf to Reverend Wilbur Fisk, D.D., in direct response to a sermon delivered by Fisk concerning the doctrines of predestination and election. Published in 1832, the letters offer a detailed theological rebuttal and exploration of these complex concepts as understood within the context of early 19th-century religious discourse. Metcalf's work provides valuable insight into the nuances of theological debates prevalent during this period, particularly between Methodist and Calvinistic viewpoints. These letters serve as a historical record of theological interpretation and argument, offering readers a glimpse into the intellectual and spiritual landscape of the time. "Letters Addressed to Rev. Wilbur Fisk, D.D." is a significant resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of American religious thought, Methodist theology, and the enduring debate surrounding divine election.
