Chosen By God
Predestination is a hard doctrine to understand and/or accept. Dr. R.C. Sproul, the author of this book, struggled with and continues to struggle with the concept. He invites you to struggle with him as you embark on the difficult journey of examining the doctrines of predestination. Through nine chapters Sproul covers the following topics: predestination and the sovereignty of God, predestination and free will, Adam's fall and mine, spiritual death and spiritual life, foreknowledge and predestination, double predestination, assurance, and any concluding questions and objections concerning this topic. He thoroughly covers each topic and provides a lot of scriptural support as well as quotes from many different theologians. To say the least, this is a heavy book full of deep thoughts to ponder and examine. Just to let you know, Sproul supports the "reformed" view of predestination (Yes, there is more than one view!) proposed by people like John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, and St. Augustine. My favorite part of the whole book is the summary at the end of each chapter. These summaries highlight the main points of the chapter, which makes it easy to revisit them at a later time. Whether you know nothing about predestination or have some nagging questions, this book will really help you understand this position. elise
Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn't just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn't create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans.We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God's ways, but not contradiction.
