Produced by Keith G Richardson Produced from pdf file kindly provided at books.google.com "The Calvinistic Doctrine of Predestination Examined and Refuted" by F. Hodgson is a theological work written in the mid-19th century. The book addresses and critiques the Calvinistic perspective on predestination, arguing that it presents a misrepresentation of divine governance and moral accountability. Hodgson aims to distinguish between Calvinism and the Arminian view, asserting that the latter is more aligned with scripture and beneficial for Christian understanding. The opening of the book introduces the author's intention to refute the Calvinistic doctrine of predestination, which posits that all events are predetermined by God. Hodgson begins by asserting the importance of discussing this doctrine, as it significantly impacts views on divine governance and moral responsibility. The discourse emphasizes that misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the Calvinistic view persist on the part of its opponents, and Hodgson aims to clarify these points. He lays the groundwork for a detailed examination and comparison of the Calvinistic and Arminian positions, indicating that the following content will consist of a systematic refutation of Calvinist claims while promoting Arminian interpretations as more consistent with scripture and human agency. This sets a confrontational and critical tone for the theological debates to follow.
