Publisher's Synopsis
The Doctrine of Original Sin Defended is a book written by the American theologian and preacher Jonathan Edwards in 1809. In this book, Edwards defends the Christian doctrine of original sin, which asserts that all humans are born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Edwards presents a comprehensive defense of this doctrine by providing evidence of its truth from the Bible, as well as by answering arguments against it. He argues that the doctrine of original sin is necessary to understand the nature of sin and the need for salvation through Jesus Christ. Throughout the book, Edwards engages with various theological and philosophical arguments against the doctrine of original sin, including objections based on human free will, the problem of evil, and the nature of God's justice. He also addresses objections raised by other Christian theologians who hold different views on the subject.Overall, The Doctrine of Original Sin Defended is a significant work of Christian theology that provides a detailed defense of a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith. It remains a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in understanding the nature of sin and the need for salvation in the Christian tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
