I have read several books relating to predestination, election, free will..etc. In my opinion, this book is the best on this subject. It offers references from many different commentators and scholars not just the author's own bias. The first half of the book deals with an overview of the topic. It is very helpful in getting up to speed on the history, views, terms and issues involved. The second half of the book deals specifically with verses in the Bible relating to these issues. As for someone who has been on both sides of these issues (Calvinism vs. Arminianism), this book is very convicting because it spends a great deal of time in looking at the key Bible verses involved. And that is the most important aspect - what the Bible actually says not what our Theology thinks that it should say. I am amazed how many Christians put into Scripture their own personal view or bias instead of taking out of Scripture what God is actually saying. This book is a must read for anyone who is seriously interested in learning what the Bible teaches concerning predestination and election. It is a serious study on the subject. It is concise with the focus being on Scripture and it is without all of the fluff, emotion, and bias from other sometimes larger books. It seems every Christian has a passionate view on this issue. This book will challenge your view from a Biblical basis. I have also found this book as an unlock selection on WordSearch 4 Bible software.
