"He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world . . ."
Among the traditional tenets of the Christian faith is the belief
that God chooses or elects people for salvation. For some
Christians, such an affirmation is an indication of God's sovereign
and perfect will. For others, such a notion is troubling for it
seems to downplay the significance of human agency and choice.
Throughout the church's history, Christians have sought to
understand the meaning of relevant biblical texts and debated this
theological conundrum. With care and insight, theologian Mark
Lindsay surveys the development of the Christian doctrine of
election. After exploring Scripture on this theme, he turns to the
various articulations of this doctrine from the early church
fathers, including Augustine, and medieval theologians such as
Aquinas, to John Calvin's view, the subsequent debate between
Calvinists and Arminians, Karl Barth's modern reconception of the
doctrine, and reflections on election in the shadow of the
Holocaust. On this journey through the Bible and church history,
readers will discover how Christians have understood the
affirmation that God has chosen.
