Offering not only state-of-the-art introductions from Biblical,
historical, and constructive theologians, this volume also fosters
an inter-disciplinary and cross-confessional conversation,
reclaiming the idea of election as a central notion for any
retelling of the biblical narrative. Several essays explore the
variety of ways in which election is spoken about in the Scripture,
drawing on research from the last twenty years that offers a more
sophisticated framework than the traditionally theological
categories of “elect” and “reject”. The historical part of
the volume covers new analyses of Medieval and post-Reformation
Catholic and Protestant debates on predestination, while the
book’s constructive part contributes to contemporary
conversations on the relationship between Trinity, Christology, and
election, the development of a post-supersessionist understanding
of Israel’s chosenness, as well as voices from contextual
struggles in South America, Palestine, and South Africa.
