Doctrine of the Will

"Doctrine of the Will" by Asa Mahan is a book that examines the idea of human will from religious and thinking-based viewpoints. Mahan looks at the concepts of freedom and what must happen, using ideas from different schools of thought. He wants to create a theory that fits with both how we understand our minds and what the Bible says about our ability to make moral decisions and our duties. He starts by talking about how important it is to understand the will because it's a key idea in how we think and in religious studies. Mahan plans to focus on carefully studying the mind to understand the will, without letting religious ideas overly influence his work. He believes it's important to see how our choices, God's control, and our moral duties connect, to really understand who we are and what we should do as people who can tell right from wrong, while also making a case for understanding the differences betweem liberty and necessity.
