About This Book

A sermon and a series of essays critique doctrines of unconditional election and limited atonement, arguing that scripture supports a universal atonement and that particular election undermines moral agency and accountability. The author surveys historical developments and variations within Calvinism, challenges attempts to reconcile general redemption with predestination, and examines the Fall, gracious ability, and regeneration, replying to objections and defending the view that redemptive provisions and moral responsibility are not confined to a predetermined elect.
