Publisher's Synopsis
""A Discourse Concerning The Divine Providence"" is a book written by William Sherlock and originally published in 1851.

Sherlock's book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of divine providence. He begins by defining the concept and discussing the various ways in which it has been understood throughout history. He then goes on to explore the relationship between divine providence and human free will, arguing that the two are not mutually exclusive and that God can work through human choices to achieve his purposes.Throughout the book, Sherlock draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, classical philosophy, and the writings of other theologians. He also engages with contemporary debates about the nature of God and the role of religion in society.Overall, ""A Discourse Concerning The Divine Providence"" is a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of a complex theological concept.
