Election and Free Will: God's Gracious Choice and Our Responsibility (Explorations in Biblical Theology)
"Neither superficial nor highly technical, this new series of volumes on important Christian doctrines is projected to teach Reformed theology as it is most helpfully taught, with clear grounding in Scripture, mature understanding of theology, gracious interaction with others who disagree, and useful application to life. I expect that these volumes will strengthen the faith and biblical maturity of all who read them, and I am happy to recommend them highly."Wayne Grudem"What a wonderful book! Most discussions of the doctrine of election and free will have become a 'take-no-prisoners' kind of theological warfare. Robert Peterson's clear and irenic presentation of the doctrine of election never compromises the truth, but it does open the door for God's people, who sometimes disagree about important truths, to talk."Steve Brown"Explorations in Biblical Theology is a valuable new series of books on doctrinal themes that run through Scripture. Following a thematic approach, each volume explores a distinctive doctrine as it is taught in Scripture, or else introduces the various doctrines taught in a particular book of the Bible. The result is a fresh and unique contribution to our understanding of the Bible's own theology."Philip Graham Ryken"This is a series that the church needs more than ever, as we forge fresh links between the world of biblical studies and our Reformed theology. The contributors remind us again that the Bible is a book about God and his purposes and encourages us to preach and teach the message of salvation which it contains. It will be an inspiration to many and give us new insight into the faith once delivered to the saints." --Gerald Bray"Explorations in Biblical Theology is a valuable new series of books on doctrinal themes that run through Scripture.
