  • The essays here do represent a serious engagement by a team of thoughtful Baptist pastors and theologians to come to grips with a major tension inherent in the Christian gospel itself. As such, it deserves to be read, discussed, and responded to.

  • The issues in this book are essential to a consistent Theism. They are essential to any confession of divine rescue.

  • The doctrines of grace, which form the subject matter of this book, have often proven to be the stuff of controversy in the church’s history. What I deeply appreciate about these studies of these precious truths, though, is the irenicism that informs them.

“The issues in this book are essential to a consistent Theism. They are essential to any confession of divine rescue. They are an essential part of the very fabric of the biblical revelation of divine salvation. They are essential to a right understanding of the gospel. They are essential to a worship that would rightly acknowledge God as the Savior of sinners. And they are basic to a realized joy in God’s salvation.”

“The doctrines of grace, which form the subject matter of this book, have often proven to be the stuff of controversy in the church’s history. What I deeply appreciate about these studies of these precious truths, though, is the irenicism that informs them. And this is as it should be. To paraphrase the apostle: here we find the speaking of the truth about divine grace in love.”

Description

Written as a theological defense of God’s sovereign grace in salvation, this book, its topics and structure, was mirrored as a response to Whosoever Will by David L. Allen and Steve W. Lemke. It addresses key doctrines such as election, human depravity, effectual calling, and the extent of the atonement.

Through a series of essays, the contributors engage Scripture, historical theology, and contemporary debates to show that salvation is ultimately the work of God’s mercy and power from beginning to end. Clear and accessible, this volume is designed to strengthen pastors, students, and thoughtful readers in their understanding of the doctrines of grace.
