“Scott Christensen has performed a valuable service in writing a clear and accurate book on the question of free will. He presents intelligent and intelligible definitions of such key terms as ‘libertarianism’ and ‘compatibilism,’ and answers clearly from Scripture the questions that we all ask about these. The reader emerges with a good understanding of these terms and the impact of this doctrine on the Christian life. I do hope that the book gets a wide distribution and readership.” (from Amazon)

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.
