Reconciling Our Choices with God's Sovereignty","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristensenexplains two views that acknowledge God’s sovereignty and its relation to human responsibility: \u003cem\u003ecompatibilism\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003elibertarianism\u003c\/em\u003e. Providing cogent, biblical answers, Christensen argues for compatibilism and shows how it makes sense of evil, suffering, prayer, evangelism, and sanctification. You will gain a deeper understanding of both arguments, as well as a greater appreciation for the significant role that choices play in God’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A clear, intelligent, immensely helpful overview of one of the most confusing conundrums in all of theology. . . .
