No Place for Sovereignty - by R K McGregor Wright (Paperback)

About the Book

Concerned that evangelicals may soon find no place for sovereignty in their blinking, Wright sets out to show what's wrong--biblically, theologically and philosphically--with free will theory in its ancient form. Along the way, he treats readers to a short course in historical theology, making a fresh, powerful case for the Reformed emphasis on God's sovereign grace.

Book Synopsis

Concerned that evangelicals may soon find no place for sovereignty in their thinking, R. K. McGregor Wright sets out to show what's wrong--biblically, theologically and philosophically--with freewill theory in its ancient form.

From the Back Cover

In recent years several evangelical thinkers have called for a reevaluation of our understanding of God, making a case for what has variously been called "freewill theism" or the "open view" of God. R. K. McGregor Wright sees their efforts as the latest attempt of believers to wed the vagaries of current thought to biblical truth. More specifically, he sees in their call a contemporary reaffirmation of Arminianism. Concerned that evangelicals may soon find no place for sovereignty in their thinking, Wright sets out to show what's wrong - biblically, theologically and philosophically - with freewill theory in its ancient, as well as current, form. In particular, he subjects the recent work of Clark Pinnock to scrutiny. Here is a fresh, powerful case for the Reformed emphasis on God's sovereign grace.
