Review title: An excellent book--highly recommended!
Product review: David Clotfelter has dealt effectively and Biblically with some of the hard questions that Christians are confronted with regarding the justice of God and the sovereignty of God in salvation. In the final analysis, the author encourages us to trust the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God on these difficult questions, rather than to rely upon human reasoning and logic. I heartily agree!My only reservation is that Clotfelter was too charitable in the book to George MacDonald, a well-known and famous author of the 19th century who believed and taught universal salvation, denied eternal punishment, denied the substitutionary atonement of Christ for believers, and denied the imputed righteousness of Christ to believers. In my view, heretics should labeled as such, not spoken of favorably, as though they are somehow redeemed in spite of their heresy!
