Narration Supposing Books The Sovereignty of God

"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. It is the chord upon which all other doctrines are strung like so many pearls, holding them in place and giving them unity. It is the plumbline by which every creed needs to be measured and the balance in which every human dogma must be weighed. It produces gratitude in prosperity and patience in adversity. It is, and does all, and much more than we have said, because it ascribes to God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit- the glory which is His due, and places the creature in His proper place before Him- in the dust... This doctrine of the sovereignty of God is glorious and edifying, and a due apprehension of it will but serve to make us exclaim with Moses, "who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods?" (Ex. 15:11)" -The Sovereignty of God by A.W. Pink [p. 214, 227]

Assess Based On Books The Sovereignty of God

I understand this book is a classic excursion through the difficult subject of God's sovereignty, but to be quite honest, I think it is highly overratedand that is coming from someone from the same theological tradition as Pink. The book seems more like a random rambling about the subject rather than a reasoned assessment of the biblical data. Jerry Bridges' book, Trusting God, is way better, more pastoral in nature, and more balanced than this. That is perhaps a better place to start exploring

This book made me furious--but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I guess. It is certainly a thought-provoking read, and a good exercise in devotion simply because I could not safely acquiesce to Pink's teachings without serious contemplation. Like the reviewer before me, I believe the idea that Jesus only died for the elect, and the contention that God does not love everyone He has made, to be heretical. It seems inconsistent and unlike Him for God to enjoin us, through Jesus, to live our

The Sovereignty of God - probably one of the most attacked doctrines of the Bible (along with election) - yet within it, the Christian has so much hope. This book is fantastic and timely.

This is probably the best book I've read so far presenting high calvanist theology. Being not-Calvinist, it gave me a good understanding of why someone might be Calvinist, and I think this will help to illuminate future dialogue...

Another book that the Lord used to show me His grace!

A true classic. Easily one of my new favorites.

If you want to know what it means to say, 'God is sovereign', this is the book. There are others, yes, but Pink is as thorough and as biblical in his presentation of this part of systematic theology as can be found.I find it fascinating, in seeing/reading many negative critiques of Pink's work, that so many will call him a 'Hyper-Calvinist.' Clearly, they either misconstrue the term or flat out don't know what it means, except that anyone who believes God has unconditionally elected some to
