This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversy rages on about God's choosing people for salvation. Are only the few elect? Rather than typically beginning with the preconceptions of systematic theologies, Dr. William Klein takes up this question by searching for a biblical theology of election. He surveys the OT contexts of God's choosing individuals--prophets, priests, kings--to serve divine purposes, and considers God's election of the nation of Israel as his special people. This OT study proposes that God's election is both individual and corporate, but not always determinative. Individuals entered the people of God by birth, but not all the people found salvation. Faith in Yahweh was required. This book traces these elective understandings through the intertestamental literature, identifying continuities and shifts. The bulk of the study, and the heart of the argument, focus on the New Testament. Klein identifies concepts of election, and relationships between writers in the gospels, the Lucan material, Paul's writings, and the rest. The new covenant, God choosing the church in Christ, emphasizes election as corporate, while the individual election of Jesus' disciples and of Paul raises the question whether such chosenness is necessarily salvific. In closing, Klein discusses the most engaging and divisive questions around God's election, and offers a real challenge to today's church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Excellent survey examining the appropriate and controversial Biblical (and a few extra-biblical) texts showing that the majority, if not all, affirm divine election to be not individual but corporate and contemplating not salvation but appointment for service. An illuminating aspect is the author's discussion that the act of God calling does refer to an invitation to salvation but reflects what the people of God are, that is, they are 'the called.' He contends that that nuance of the Greek verb "call" is in the sense of 'to give a name' (p.274). The author provides a thorough examination of all the relevant texts. This study is a serious (although not technical) refutation of the Calvinistic doctrine of election and affirms the Biblical proclamation of Christ's saving work being accomplished for all men although only believers experience its benefits."--Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, David Novak conducts an historical, philosophical and theological reflection on the central Jewish doctrine of Israel's election by God, also known as the idea of the chosen people. Historically, he analyses the great change in modern Jewish thought brought about by Spinoza's inversion of the doctrine: that it was not God who elected Israel, but Israel who elected God. The development of that inversion is illustrated by the thought of the German philosopher-theologian, Hermann Cohen. Philosophically, Novak explores the ontological implications of the two differing theologies of election. Theologically, he argues for the correlation of election and revelation, and maintains that a theology of election is required in order to deal with two central questions, namely: who are the Jews, and how are Jews to be related to the world? The constructive picture which results leads to a fresh understanding of Jewish modernity.

Download or read book Chosen and Unchosen written by Joel N. Lohr and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2011 RBY Scott Award from the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies/Société canadienne des études bibliques The God of the Bible favors a national people, Israel, and this is at the cost of the other nations. In fact, not being Israel usually means humiliation or destruction or simply being ignored by God. Reading the text “with the grain” or placing oneself within the chosen’s perspective may seem very well until one considers the unchosen. There is much regarding the unchosen that has not been explored in scholarly research, but in this important work, Lohr attempts to make sense of the question of election and nonelection in the OT as a Christian interpreter and with a concern for the history of interpretation and Jewish-Christian dialogue. He also corrects a Christian tendency to read election and nonelection as love and damnation, respectively, a perception that is altogether foreign to the OT itself. The unchosen are important to the overall world view of Scripture and, although election entails exclusion, and God’s love for the one people Israel is a love in contrast to others, it does not follow that the unchosen fall outside of the economy of God’s purposes, his workings, or his ways. The unchosen often face important tests of their own and have a responsibility to God and the chosen, however much this idea defies modern-day notions of fairness. It is a central idea of Scripture that already appears in the original call of and promises made to Abram and something that, if ignored, places our larger understanding of God at risk. Equally important, if contemporary faith communities (both Jewish and Christian) form their understanding of “the other” on a faulty reading of Scripture regarding the unchosen, chaos and hatred can ensue. The political and religious climate of our contemporary world has never presented a more important time to get this matter right. Scholars and students alike are finding Chosen and Unchosen to be an indispensable resource as they mull over these difficult questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 200,000 copies sold! Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God’s ways, but not contradiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 bestseller in New Testament Commentaries. Over 200,000 copies sold! This is the official companion study to season 1 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus. What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? parallels each episode, connecting readers to the Bible in a brand-new way. It includes: A deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers (including us!) Script excerpts, quotes, and illustrations from the show Guiding questions for groups or individuals Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications—although it says even more about the Chooser than the choosees. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people. What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we’re going Old school—Testament that is—which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has God decided everything beforehand, in ages past? Or are the choices and decisions made by you and I real choices? The doctrine of election has split the Christian Church. Denominations and congregations have been formed over agreement or disagreement with how election is interpreted. There have been numerous Christian families that have seen members take opposing sides over this teaching. In addition, this doctrine has caused the hearts of many sincere Christians to tremble, fear and at times even give up. Election, to be chosen is a teaching that is taught throughout the Bible. However, the interpretation of election found within many churches misses the meaning that is taught in the Word of God. Election does not mean that God has pre-determined the destiny of a certain few. The primary meaning of election means to belong to God. The present study is an attempt to explain the Biblical teaching of election.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Through the years, I have read carefully every serious work on the question of election...I found no work that addressed itself to the question in this thorough, objective, competent manner or afforded such satisfactory, obviously Biblical constructions.... I have every confidence that time will prove this to be the definitive work on the difficult question of election."--from the Introduction by Dr. William W. Adams of the Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryIn this comprehensive treatment of all pertinent Scripture passages dealing with election, Dr. Shank demonstrates that Calvin's doctrine of the unconditional election and the reprobation of particular people is without foundation in the Scriptures. He challenges the use of certain "proof passages" and shows that their application in this manner requires circumventing some of the most explicitly categorical affirmations of Scripture.Dr. Shank demonstrates that the election of grace does not rule out the salvation of any man, that God truly wills all men to be saved. The cross is seen as the focal point of election and the event in which time and eternity find their true perspective.

Download or read book Predestined - Elected - Chosen written by Michael Lowery and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries unnecessary confusion and conflict has run rampant throughout the Church concerning the terms predestined, elected, and chosen. It is extremely important that each Believer obtains an accurate understanding of their correct meaning and application. The Christian faith and the very character of God are literally defined by these terms. Do not believe the lie that these terms are too difficult to understand. God wants the issue of predestination settled in every Believer's mind and in the Church. Presdestined - Elected - Chosen, a ten-year journey and God-appointed mission in Michael's life, will accomplish just that. In Predestined - Elected - Chosen you will discover that God has predestined, elected, and chosen... - 'How' eternal salvation would be made available; that is, by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, not of works - 'What' He expects of every Believer who receives Jesus Christ as their Savior; that is, a righteous, sanctified life - 'Purposes' for individuals and entire people groups Did God also predestine, elect, and choose 'who' will and 'who' will not receive eternal salvation? Answering this question is the book's focus. In Predestined - Elected - Chosen Michael takes on 102 'challenges.' These challenges are arguments and Scripture references used by both the Electionist camp (those who support the predestined eternal future view) and the Free-Will camp to support their respective views. No stone is left unturned as these challenges are contested against the scrutiny of thorough Biblical evaluation. The book format makes for an easy read, setup to function as a quick reference guide concerning any Scripture which sheds light on this critical subject. Michael's writing style is also easy to follow, absent of the complicated terms and confusing language typically used by theologians to address this issue. This is such an important issue. The doctrine of Election and the Free-Will view are literally two mutually exclusive religions. Getting this matter settled in the Church is right up there in importance with our understanding that 'salvation is by grace, through faith, not of works.' It is a non-negotiable of the Christian faith. Although theologians and laymen alike have been debating this issue for centuries, Michael has been able to successfully and concisely settle this centuries-old debate once and for all. He has been able to clearly demonstrate which view is in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ found in the Bible. Predestined - Elected - Chosen is a must-read for every Believer. Getting a clear understanding of these terms is absolutely essential to ensure that you are truly 'thoroughly furnished unto all good works' by 'rightly dividing the word of truth' concerning this important matter. It is God's will for you to get this matter settled. God is not hiding the truth from anyone. The effectiveness of the Church to disciple its members and to reach the Unsaved for Jesus Christ depends upon it. Your understanding of the very attributes and character of God depends upon it. The wrong view of the terms predestined, elected, and chosen works against everything God desires to accomplish in this world and in the Church, while it works in perfect cooperation with the desires of Satan to steal, kill, and destroy. Get your copy today. Also, be sure to get additional copies for your friends, family, and pastor. You will be glad you did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Chosen? introduces students to four different theories about Christian salvation. The goal is not to convince anyone to agree with a particular theory, but rather to allow students to be more informed about major lines of thought within Christian theology. Discussion questions and a short critique are provided for each major theory. There are also brief remarks concerning the vexing problem of addressing Christian salvation to those outside of the Christian Church.
