Wallace, Robert
The Doctrines of Predestination, Reprobation, and Election
Produced by Keith G. Richardson
"The Doctrines of Predestination, Reprobation, and Election" by Robert Wallace is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the complex and contentious topics surrounding the concepts of predestination, reprobation, and election in Christian doctrine, particularly in response to Calvinist interpretations. The author seeks to clarify these doctrines and their implications, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nature of God’s character in relation to human salvation. At the start of the text, the author draws an analogy between shipwrecked sailors questioning the nature of an island's inhabitants and humanity's inquiry into the character of God through observation of the universe. He introduces the topics by discussing the historical controversies surrounding these doctrines, referencing key figures such as Augustine and Calvin, while asserting the need for believers to defend their faith against prevailing interpretations that he perceives as misrepresentative of God’s benevolence. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed examination of each doctrine, aiming to dispel misconceptions and affirm a more inclusive understanding of God’s love and salvation for all people.
