Chosen But Free: A Balanced View of God's Sovereignty and Free Will - Paperback

by Norman L. Geisler (Author)

Is God in control, or do we have a choice?

The topic of divine election is one of utmost importance to the church today. Young Christians in particular are in constant debate over these issues, wondering what is true and how it might affect their lives.

This definitive work from Norman L. Geisler offers a balanced, moderating position on the relationship between divine election and human choice. It convincingly affirms both the sovereignty and foreknowledge of God and the human responsibility to either receive or reject Him.

Back Jacket

The Reformed movement has gotten younger and more outspoken since Chosen But Free was published more than ten years ago, making the topic of divine election one of utmost importance to the church today. Young Christians in particular are in constant debate over these issues, wondering what is true and how it might affect their lives.

People on both sides of the debate will want to read a "middle-ground" book. In addition, this revision deals more directly with the personal issues involved in the debate. For example, how do our beliefs about free will affect us when it comes to perceptions of love, personal responsibility, and purpose? And how does it affect our ability to worship God?
