“This concise little volume is a clear, intelligent, immensely helpful overview of one of the most confusing conundrums in all of theology: the perennial debate over divine sovereignty and human free will. While avoiding the dense philosophical prose found in most works on this subject, Scott Christensen doesn't sidestep the hard questions. The answers he gives are thoughtful, biblical, satisfying, and refreshingly coherent. Lay readers and seasoned theologians alike will treasure this work.” (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.
