Chosen But Free

by Norman L. Geisler

Chosen But Free Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A balanced view of divine election that examines thoroughly both God's sovereignty and man's free will. Offers a moderating position to the endless theological debate.

Synopsis:

Is God in Control, or Do We have a Choice? The seemingly endless debate between Calvinism and Arminianism continues to make its rounds throughout the Christian community. Polarized beliefs have dominated and divided the theological landscape of the twentieth century, while many observers wonder, Does it really make a difference? Chosen But Free answers with a resounding yes. But rather than pitting one strong perspective against another, this brilliant work presents a cogent and sensible moderate view, providing readers with one of the first books that convincingly affirms both the sovereignty and foreknowledge of God and the human responsibility to either receive or reject Him. Includes a response to The Potter's Freedom by James R. White. The Definitive Work on the Relationship Between Divine Election and Human Choice.

Synopsis:

Offers a balanced, moderating position to the endless theological debate over man's free will and God's sovereignty.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [264]-268) and indexes.
