Product Highlights

• A careful, reasoned study of the doctrine of election.
• Second Edition

"It is the foundation for everything I believe."

—John Piper

"The most compelling and forceful exposition of Romans 9:1-23 that I have ever seen."

—Richard Muller, PJ Zondervan Professor of Historical Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary

"Written in an irenic spirit with a keen awareness and interaction with all significant scholarly studies on Romans 9. Theology aside, it is a work of scholarship in its own right and the best on Romans 9."

—G. K. Beale, Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton Graduate School

"Even for non-Calvinists Piper's work is too carefully reasoned and stays too close to the text to be ignored."

—David G. Dunbar, President, Biblical Theological Seminary

"Piper leads one through complex exegetical issues, engaging important literature fairly, summarizing the arguments frequently, and stating his conclusions (and warrants) clearly."

—Leander Keck, Harvard University

Originally published in 1983, this study was conceived as an attempt to understand how Paul defends the righteousness of God in Romans 9:14-23. It involves a broad effort to grasp what Paul means by the righteousness of God and raises the question of election and predestination.
