A Careful and Strict Inquiry Into the Modern Prevailing Notions Of That Freedom of Will Which Is Supposed to Be Essential to Moral Agency Virtue Praise and Blame - Classic Reprint
Author: Jonathan Edwards

Excerpt from A Careful and Strict Inquiry Into the Modern Prevailing Notions: Of That Freedom of Will, Which Is Supposed to Be Essential to Moral Agency, Virtue and Vice, Reward and Punishment, Praise and Blame — Many find much Fault with the calling professing Christians, that differ one from another in some Matters of Opinion, by distinct Names... more »; especially calling them by the Names of particular Men, who have distinguished themselves as Maintainers and Promoters of those Opinions: as the calling some professing Christians Arminians, from Arminius; others Arians, from Arius; others Socinians, from Socinus, and the like. They think it unjust in itself; as it seems to suppose and suggest, that the Persons mark'd out by these Names, received those Doctrines which they entertain, out of Regard to, and Reliance on those Men after whom they are named; as tho' they made them their Rule: in the same Manner, as the Followers of Christ are called Christians, after his Name, whom they regard and depend upon, as their great Head and Rule. Whereas, this is an unjust and groundless Imputation on those that go under the foremention'd Denominations. Thus (say they) there is not the least Ground to suppose, that the chief Divines, who embrace the Scheme of Doctrine which is by many called Arminianism, believe it the more because Arminius believed it: and that there is no Reason to think any other, than that they sincerely and impartially study the holy Scriptures, and inquire after the Mind of Christ, with as much Judgment and Sincerity, as any of those that call them by these Names; that they seek after Truth, and are not careful whether they think exactly as Arminius did; yea, that in some Things they actually differ from him.
