Calvinistic Controversy by Wilbur Fisk
"Calvinistic Controversy" by Wilbur Fisk is a theological treatise written in the early 19th century. The work engages with the doctrine of predestination and election, particularly critiquing Calvinistic views while advocating for a position grounded in free will and moral agency. The discussion aims to clarify theological misunderstandings and challenge preconceived notions within the realm of Christian doctrine. The opening of the text presents Fisk's foundational beliefs regarding predestination, outlining his intentionto discuss the doctrines in a spirit of Christian charity while confronting what he views as doctrinal fallacies. He highlights the debate between Calvinism and opposing views, laying out the distinction between unconditional election and the idea that election is based upon foreseen faith and moral conduct. Through his arguments, Fisk prepares to delve into various scriptural interpretations and philosophical implications of these doctrines, setting the stage for a comprehensive dialogue on the nature of divine sovereignty and human agency as it pertains to salvation.
