a fresh and insightful work on a challenging theological topic.
*Todd Billings, Theology*
Matthew Levering, a young Roman Catholic scholar from the States,
has added to his growing list of publications this wise and
scholarly book on a theological theme which continues to be
important. The book is well organised, very clearly written (the
author explaining complex ideas in accessible ways), and has a
clear line of argument which runs from its introduction to its
conclusion. It's a nicely produced volume too.
*Robert Ellis, Regent's Reviews*
Levering's text is valuable as an encyclopedia of predestination,
beautifully balancing discussion of primary sources with current
secondary literature.
*Jeffrey A. Vogel, Journal of Theological Studies*
Levering's book should deservedly become a helpful resource for
theological students as they begin to engage with issues of grace
and election in the Western theological tradition.
*John C. McDowell, Colloquium*
Predestination is a welcome contribution to the current debates
over predestination and it amply displays biblical, theological and
historical clarity and competence. I strongly recommend the book
and encourage readers to request it for their institutions'
libraries
*Randal Rauser, Scottish Journal of Theology*
