Divine Election

Theology

“In this discerning study, building on Calvin, Scheeben, Barth, Bavinck, Berkouwer, and Balthasar, Echeverria develops a Catholic doctrine of election. By showing how God's election of humans is solidly rooted in God's love, he succeeds in articulating election without implying arbitrariness. He does so in a way that is both erudite and accessible, both Catholic and ecumenical. This book adds a whole new dimension to our belief that God acts 'for us and our salvation.'”
