Chosen by God by R. C. Sproul is a clear and approachable exploration of the biblical doctrine of predestination and God’s sovereignty in salvation. Sproul tackles difficult questions about election, free will, human responsibility, and God’s grace, arguing that salvation ultimately begins with God rather than with us. Along the way, he carefully addresses common objections to Reformed theology and explains why God’s sovereign choice does not make Him unjust or remove our responsibility to respond to the gospel. Though the subject can be challenging, Sproul writes with a pastor’s concern for more than simply winning a theological argument. His goal is to show that these doctrines should lead believers to greater humility, gratitude, assurance, and worship as they recognize that salvation is, from beginning to end, a work of God’s grace.
