Publisher's Synopsis
The Doctrine Of Divine Efficiency, Defended Against Certain Modern Speculations is a book written by Edward Dorr Griffin in 1833. The book is a defense of the Christian doctrine of divine efficiency against certain modern speculations that have arisen in the 19th century. Griffin argues that God is the ultimate cause of all things, including human actions, and that this belief is central to the Christian faith. He critiques the views of philosophers and theologians who have challenged this doctrine, including those who deny the existence of free will or who argue that God's involvement in the world is limited.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of the doctrine of divine efficiency. Griffin draws on biblical texts, historical theology, and philosophical arguments to support his position. He also engages with the views of other theologians and philosophers, both past and present, in order to present a comprehensive defense of the doctrine.Overall, The Doctrine Of Divine Efficiency, Defended Against Certain Modern Speculations is a significant work of Christian theology that addresses important questions about the nature of God's involvement in the world and the relationship between divine sovereignty and human agency.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
