Abstract
Edward Hitchcock's sermon on election or predestination. The text for his sermon was Isaiah 64:8, although throughout the discourse he quoted extensively from various parts of the New Testament. Hitchcock acknowledged that the subject of election provokes "a strong prejudice & antipathy in the human mind," but the idea must be confronted. He proceeded "to inquire what the bible teaches concerning the doctrine of election" by posing six questions and examining the answers found in scripture. He concluded by observing that the "multitude of difficulties and objections" which a Christian might have to the biblical doctrine of election fall into two categories, both of which are resolved by scripture. Hitchcock noted the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1822 and 1824.
