Elect in the Son: A Study of the Doctrine of Election

by Bob Shank

Publisher:

, 1989

Overview

In this comprehensive treatment of all pertinent Scripture passages dealing with election, Dr. Shank demonstrates that Calvin’s doctrine of the unconditional election and the reprobation of particular people is without foundation in the Scriptures. He challenges the use of certain “proof passages” and shows that their application in this manner requires circumventing some of the most explicitly categorical affirmations of Scripture.

Dr. Shank demonstrates that the election of grace does not rule out the salvation of any man, that God truly wills all men to be saved. The cross is seen as the focal point of election and the event in which time and eternity find their true perspective.

"Through the years, I have read carefully every serious work on the question of election. I found no work that addressed itself to the question in this thorough, objective, competent manner or afforded such satisfactory, obviously Biblical constructions?. I have every confidence that time will prove this to be the definitive work on the difficult question of election."

--from the Introduction by Dr. William W. Adams of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
