Synopsis

With the dawn of the new millennium, the traditional understanding of Who God is and the historic understanding of how He is experienced are being shaped, reshaped, and shifted devastatingly by tumultuous theological and philosophical winds as truth is cast about in spiritual chaos. In the storm center of swirling spiritual confusion stands the post-modern church and, under her umbrella, the people who will shape both the ontological and existential truth for the next generation. With the destructive uprooting of once carefully sown biblical understandings that were planted by pious hands, the church of the new millennium is confronted with the necessity of defining and clarifying the historic, revealed identity of the God of Scripture and the truth of how He is experienced. Kierkegaard wrote, "In every way it has come to this, that what one now calls Christianity is precisely what Christ came to abolish." In Heretics, Chesterton wrote, "There is a collapse of the intellect as unmistakable as a falling house," It is that collapse that has produced the ongoing crisis for the post-modern church at the dawn of this new millennium. God was not and is not willing to allow the reality of Who He is or how He is to be experienced to be obscured by either nature, the heathen, the pagan or the fool. Through His revelation, He has made Himself known. Through God's revelation we understand that He has certain attributes or qualities that distinguish Him from His creation. He is sovereign. This Classic book - The Sovereignty Of God -- introduces and orients the reader to critical biblical/theological thinking about God -- with a clarity that fosters biblical thought and facilitates Bible comprehension. You won't be disappointed.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Arthur Walkington Pink (April 1, 1886 - July 15, 1952) was an evangelist and biblical scholar known for his Calvinist and Puritan teachings. Born in England, Pink became a Christian in his early 20s and emigrated to the United States to study at Moody Bible Institute. He pastored churches in Australia and England before returning to the U.S. to pastor churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina. Pink returned to England in 1934, turning his Christian service toward writing books and pamphlets. After his death, his works were republished by the Banner of Truth Trust and reached a much wider audience as a result, making him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century. His writing sparked a revival of expository preaching and focused readers' hearts on biblical living. His works include numerous Bible studies and books such as The Attributes of God, The Doctrine of Justification, The Patience of God, and The Total Depravity of Man.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Who's in control of this world, God or the devil?

"The doctrine of God's Sovereignty lies at the very foundation of Christian theology. It is the centre of gravity in the system of Christian truth- the sun around which all the lesser orbs are grouped.” Arthur W. Pink s noted for his independent thinking. He was so well read, and had such a photographic memory, that he could give you the page and column in a host of reference works and commentaries. This book shocked the Christian world in 1919 when he first published it. He fiercely defends the sovereignty of God, and all the cognate doctrines such as the Doctrines of Grace. It is THE book to give to those just after conversion, and a prime book to give to anyone who defends the free will of man.
