Description

A compelling meditation on belief and consequence, The Calvinistic Doctrine Of Predestination Examined And Refuted challenges readers to think, not merely to reflect. This is a clear, energised examination that invites both hesitation and clarity, turning a long-standing theological debate into a vivid, accessible encounter. Francis Hodgson's complete theological work stands as a rigorous religious polemic tract from the Victorian era, offering a meticulous calvinist predestination critique that navigates free will versus predestination with scholarly steadiness and dramatic conviction. Read as a scholarly argument and a humane call to inquiry, it speaks to both clergy and theology students alike, functioning as a substantive salvation doctrine examination within a broader protestant denominational debates milieu. It is more than a reprint; Alpha Editions restores it as a reference library edition and a practical theology student study guide for curious readers and scholars who relish a rigorous, thoughtfully argued case. The volume is of literary and historical significance for its forthright treatment of contested dogma in a time of lively religious controversy. Out of print for decades, it is now republished to be a lasting resource for casual readers, classic-literature collectors, and serious researchers alike. This edition is designed for today's readers-restored for today's and future generations-presenting a work that is at once a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
