Topic 20: Election
Seminar readings address the Reformed doctrine of election through Calvin’s chapters on eternal election (Institutes III.21-24), Calvin’s Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, and Barth’s far-reaching reformulation of election in CD II/2. William Temple on freedom and grace and Leith’s own writings on predestination and the Christian life complete the reading list.
