What about Free Will? Reconciling Our Choices with God's Sovereignty

Book Description:

Christensen explains two views that acknowledge God's sovereignty and its relation to human responsibility: compatibilism and libertarianism.

Providing cogent, biblical answers, Christensen argues for compatibilism and shows how it makes sense of evil, suffering, prayer, evangelism, and sanctification. You will gain a deeper understanding of both arguments, as well as a greater appreciation for the significant role that choices play in God's work.
