Did God decide that certain specific persons would go to heaven or hell before He created the world? Did God know everything that will ever happen before He created anything? If so, did God know this because He determined those things would happen, or vice versa? Will everyone eventually go to heaven? Answers to these and many other thoughtful questions reveal various perspectives on the doctrine of election.

Perspectives on Election presents in counterpoint form the common beliefs on the baptism of the Holy Spirit which have developed over the course of church history with a view toward determining which is most faithful to Scripture. Each chapter is written by a prominent representative from within each tradition - with the Biblical, historical, and theological issues within that tradition. In addition, each writer provides a brief response to other traditions.
