This is an excellent introduction to Reformed teaching on election. Covers the biblical foundations patiently, addresses classical and contemporary challenges fairly, while keeping an eye on the pastoral ends of the doctrine. Highly recommended. Should become the standard intro.

Read moreCornel Venema had given us a careful, thoughtful, and very helpful study of predestination: its biblical foundations, its historical development in Augustine and the Reformation, its modern challenges from Arminius, Barth, and open–theism, and its pastoral significance. Throughout Venema provides an excellent exposition and defense of the Reformed doctrine of election.
