Perspectives on Election: Five views

Chad Owen Brand (Ed.)

Editorial description at Amazon Books: "Perspectives on Election presents in counterpoint form five basic common beliefs on the doctrine of spiritual election (for example, predestination) that have developed over the course of church history with a view toward determining which is most faithful to Scripture. Each chapter is written by a prominent person within each tradition, and each writer has the opportunity to respond to each differing view."

For a variety of reasons, having to do with space constraints and perhaps also some misunderstandings on the part of both the authors and the editor, many of the responses to the various essays were severely abridged to the point where many details of many arguments on all sides were lost. Accordingly, as one of the contributors to this volume, I thought it would be appropriate to further the ongoing discussion by making public typscript versions of my own responses to the other essays in the book.
