John Girardeau addresses human freedom and God’s decrees within a nineteenth-century debate over determinism. Introduced by Richard Muller, this clarifying restatement of the orthodox Reformed perspective on human bondage to sin will help Calvinists ably defend the sovereignty of God. He expertly challenges Jonathan Edwards’s doctrine of the will and its tendency to identify certain foreknowledge with causal necessity.
