b'BIBLICAL STUDIES AND THEOLOGY40 QUESTIONS ABOUT DIVINE ELECTION DANIEL KIRKPATRICKWhat is divine election? Who are the elect? And where does human will fit into all this? The doctrine of election has been a major point of contention within the church, especially since the Reformation five hundred years ago. So much so that many of the denominations that we see around the world are the consequence of differing understandings of what election means, and what implications it has on our lives. In 40 Questions About Divine Election, authorDaniel Kirkpatrick guides the reader through the many facets of election by providing a robust description of the doctrine through the biblical and historical witness. Through a question-and-answer format, Kirkpatrick artfully defines elec-tion while describing and navigating opposing views and their implica-tions. These questions include the following: Is election rooted in the divine or human will? Is election conditional or unconditional?How does human will reconcile with divine will in election? Does God elect some people to hell? In this book, readers are invited to wrestle with their own understand-ings of election and encouraged to apply those understandings to their lives. In the end, election is about Gods sovereignty, and the question the author invites us to ask is what that sovereignty means for humanity.
