Few issues in Christian theology have sparked as much debate over
the centuries as the question of election. In this book Stephen
Williams offers a coherent account of the doctrine of election and
argues that we should diminish the role of system in Christian
theology. After discussing the biblical teaching on election,
Williams turns to questions of theological method and substance. He
maintains that the subject of predestination has to be considered
in a wider biblical context than it often is and that it is a
mistake to expect election to be understood within a comprehensive
systematic framework. What matters is the relation of particular
truths to the particulars of life, not the systematic relation of
truths to each other. Williams draws on and applies the insights of
nineteenth- century evangelical Anglican leader Charles Simeon
throughout and concludes his study with a long appendix on Karl
Barth's view of election.
