The Great Debate Over The Doctrine of Salvation


Book Description

The Great Debate over the Doctrine of Salvation was originally written as a master's thesis project at Grace Christian University to analyze the tension over the doctrine of salvation. The doctrine of salvation has been one of the most highly contested and prominent subjects of debatable dialogue among intellectuals within the world. For centuries, the debate has taken the world by storm due to the convoluted rhetoric surrounding what constitutes salvation in the eyes of mankind as opposed to the decree of God concerning salvation. As a result, secular rationalization and Christian orthodox stand as polar opposites of thought on the theological and philosophical spectrum as it relates to the doctrine of salvation. Thus, it is the primary objective through this written platform to point to the truth of what salvation entails of from a biblical perspective to aid in settling the dispute about salvation despite the argumentative position of certain intelligentsia.

Salvation and Sovereignty


Book Description

In Salvation and Sovereignty, Kenneth Keathley asks, “What shall a Christian do who is convinced of certain central tenets of Calvinism but not its corollaries?” He then writes, “I see salvation as a sovereign work of grace but suspect that the usual Calvinist understanding of sovereignty (that God is the cause of all things) is not sustained by the biblical witness as a whole.” Aiming to resolve this matter, the author argues that just three of Calvinism’s five TULIP points can be defended scripturally and instead builds on the ROSES acronym first presented by Timothy George (Radical depravity, Overcoming grace, Sovereign election, Eternal life, Singular redemption). In relation, Keathley looks at salvation and sovereignty through the lens of Molinism, a doctrine named after Luis Molina (1535-1600) that is based on a strong notion of God’s control and an equally firm affirmation of human freedom.
