Freedom of the Will is Jonathan Edwards’ landmark 1754 treatise on one of philosophy’s most enduring questions: what does it mean to act freely? With clarity and rigor, Edwards argues that true freedom is not the power to act apart from God’s sovereignty, but the ability to act according to one’s deepest inclinations.
In this classic of Reformed theology, he challenges Enlightenment ideas of autonomy and insists that divine grace is essential for genuine liberty. Both profound and provocative, Freedom of the Will continues to shape debates in theology, philosophy, and ethics, offering timeless insight into the relationship between human choice, moral responsibility, and God’s will.
