Publisher's Review: Scripture teaches that, at Calvary, Christ achieved a completely successful redemption for an elect people, his sheep, for whom he laid down his life (John 10:15). Nonetheless, Christ and his salvation are to be offered freely to all mankind.

What, then, is the attitude of God to those to whom the gospel is preached? Can it be said that he desires the salvation of all? In a careful and scholarly survey of the biblical evidence, John Murray shows that this is indeed the case. The offer of Christ in the gospel shows an ardent desire in the heart of God that all who hear should possess Christ and enjoy the salvation that is in him.
