Divine election is certainly one of the more profound-andcontroversial-doctrines in the Bible. Does God elect peoplebecause they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, or does God electpeople in order that they will believe in Christ? Much of thedisagreement and controversy concerning this doctrine proceeds froma fundamental misunderstanding of what it means. This is why Storms begins his analysis of divine election withan attempt to clarify precisely what is at stake and, at the sametime, correct misrepresentations of it. He takes a thorough look atthe doctrine as it is presented in Romans 9 as well as the rest ofthe New Testament. He also explores freedom of will and the orderof salvation. Appendixes address "Three Problem Passages" and "WhoCan and Cannot Pray for God to Save the Lost?"Storms, Sam is the author of 'Chosen for Life The Case for Divine Election', published 2007 under ISBN 9781581348439 and ISBN 1581348436.
