Salvation and Will of God
Norman Mathers, Ph.D.
Who determines salvation-God or man?
In Salvation and Will of God, Dr. Norman Mathers delivers a powerful, Scripture-saturated exploration of one of Christianity's most profound and debated doctrines: the sovereignty of God in salvation.
Beginning in the Garden of Eden and moving through the cross of Christ, this work carefully traces the biblical foundations of sin, redemption, election, predestination, propitiation, reconciliation, and substitutionary atonement. With careful attention to Hebrew and Greek texts, historical theology, and systematic clarity, Mathers demonstrates that salvation is not the product of human will, but the eternal decree of a sovereign and gracious God.
This is not surface theology. It is a deeply reasoned, exegetically grounded defense of:
The historicity of Adam and the Fall
The imputation of sin and righteousness
The eternal decree and divine election
The finished work of Christ on the cross
The security of the believer
The glory of God in redemption
Engaging Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Hodge, Chafer, and the Reformers-while interacting with Arminian, Pelagian, and modern liberal objections-this volume confronts false views of the atonement and clarifies the biblical doctrine of substitutionary redemption.
At its heart, this book answers a single burning question:
Is salvation ultimately the will of man-or the will of God?
Grounded in Romans 3-9, Ephesians 1, and the full testimony of Scripture, Mathers argues that redemption was not an afterthought in history-but the eternal purpose of God "before the foundation of the world."
For pastors, theologians, serious students of Scripture, and believers seeking doctrinal depth, Salvation and Will of God provides both intellectual rigor and devotional reverence.
This is theology that strengthens faith.
This is doctrine that exalts Christ.
This is truth that gives glory to God alone.
