"Eduardo Echeverria's Divine Election laudably returns the doctrine of election to the guts of ecumenical discussion. the writer engages an array of impeccably Catholic sources--from Scheeben to Balthasar--and units them along an meeting of solidly Reformed ones--from Calvin to Barth and Berkouwer. Catholic 'synergism,' he argues, is neither Pelagian nor semi-Pelagian. as a substitute, it truly is rooted within the 'Augustinian precept' that sin has wounded yet now not destroyed human nature. a massive work!"

He does so in a manner that's either erudite and obtainable, either Catholic and ecumenical. This ebook provides an entire new size to our trust that God acts 'for us and our salvation.'"
