Résumé : |
In a bold reaffirmation of the Calvinist view of divine sovereignty and human inability, The Grace of God, the Bondage of the Will gives a full-orbed response to modern objections. Volume 2 presents compelling historical and theological evidence for a Calvinist view of God and his saving work.
Volume 2 begins by examining some key figures in church history—Arminius, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Wesley, and William Carey. Then Calvinist scholars wrestle with the theological and philosophical implications of their position. They consider the doctrines of effectual calling, prevenient grace, assurance of salvation, the nature of God’s love, divine sovereignty and foreknowledge, and the problem of evil. Volume 1 examines relevant biblical texts and the practical benefits for Christian living that a Calvinist soteriology offers. Together these two volumes constitute a definitive scholarly defense of the doctrines of grace, serving as the starting point for all further discussion of these crucial doctrines in the church today. |
