A very well written book on a very sensitive issue in theology. Geisler touches the nerve of what separates many believers, but truhtfully exposes how both extremes are not only unbiblical but unrational. This is a great tool for anyone searching for some light to shed on the topic of pre-destination and freewill.
I'm pleased. Jan 11, 2007
As a college student with no formal theoligical training, this is a great book for me.
This book explains everything I've wanted to tell my Presbyterian friends but didn't have the right words for.
The logic is water tight and scripturally supported.
A Great Help to Those Who have Been Wrestling with Calvinism Dec 31, 2006
If you have been wrestling with the Bible's teaching on predestination and man's free will, I strongly suggest you read this book. It will be very helpful to you. Geisler does an excellent job comparing the teachings of Calvinism with the Bible and clearly demonstrates that there are many problems with Calvinism. But he doesn't stop there, he shows that there are problems with the Arminian views as well. This book presents a Biblically sound alternative to both extremes.
"A Balanced View of Divine Election?" Jun 15, 2006
OK, I'm sort of stuck between a rock and a hard spot with this one. On one hand, I think that Dr. Geisler has misrepresented the average Calvinist. On the other hand, I think that his own system, i.e., moderate Calvinism, is right on. Too bad he didn't just write a book expounding his own position and leave out the attacks against the other camps . . . the attacks could have been a separate book. In short, however, I think Geisler's position represents far more Calvinists than do the extreme Calvinists. Often people who claim to be "Calvinists" are really moderate Calvinists, they just don't know it, but when they are presented the facts, they often identify more with moderate Calvinism.

A breath of fresh air for those who have been bombarded by the false gospel of hyper Calvinism.
