The Doctrine of Election (Calvin) History as Spurgeon said

as Spurgeon said

and Jay Sklar have gathered a team of experienced pastor-theologians to provide a new generation of pastors and other teachers of the Bible around the world with a globally minded commentary series rich in biblical theology and broadly Reformed doctrine

and that of fathers in particular

and kindly offered as the subject of sweet spiritual meditation

The Doctrine of Election (Calvin) History as Spurgeon saidTranslated from the French by Robert White When Calvin says he would not have spoken of election had Scripture not led the way, we need not doubt his word. He defends the doctrine with vigour because it runs as an unbroken thread through both Old and New Testaments. Like the doctrines of providence, atonement, and the new birth, it is a doctrine of sovereign grace. Calvin did not invent election: it is a doctrine which belongs to the universal church.
