It deals with the errors found in Calvinism and Arminianism, and resolves polarized views. It provides a theology of assurance and eternal security in Christ, and a simple solution to Hebrews 6. It approaches Scripture with an inductive, bottom-up approach, not deductive. There is given an exegesis of 1000 quoted Scripture passages. The theology of salvation given in this book is gracious and non-legalistic, and is evangelism and missions friendly. --from back of book ER -
