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.
Despite the focus upon a topic that divides many people, editor
Chad Brand says, “The goal of this book is to add clarity to the
discussion and to further the discussion, insofar as it is possible,
in an amiable manner.”
