Doctrine of Election (Calvin)

Author: John Calvin

ISBN: 9781800402652

Binding: hardcover

Section: Christianity-Religion

When Calvin says that he would not have spoken of election had Scripture not led the way, we need not doubt his word. The present volume offers a variety of sources, newly translated from the French, which throw fresh light on Calvin's doctrine of election. The tensions inherent in the doctrine, such as God's mercy versus his justice, are honestly acknowledged and answered. Throughout, appeal is made not to philosophical speculation but to God's revealed word.
