Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God

Source: Desiring God
Publisher's Description
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?
J. I. Packer shows in this new edition to the popular IVP Classics how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.
With over 100,000 copies in print, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God is truly a classic that should be read by every Christian.
- New edition of a classic work on divine sovereignty and human responsibility
- Challenges extreme views on both sides of the issue
- Outlines a proper incentive and support for evangelism
Includes a Foreword by Mark Dever

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“An excellent resource.”
Reformation & Revival Journal
“The emphasis of Packer’s book is scriptural, and its conclusions are lucid, enlightening, and convicting. This is an excellent little book for any believer who has wondered about the relationship between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility in evangelism.”
Andy Naselli
“A short but exceedingly powerful book. Packer shows that rather than precluding evangelism, God's sovereignty provides the most powerful incentive and support for it.... Contains impressive depth and contains a thorough and satisfying treatment of the subject.”
Tim Challies
“I've often recommended this book to faithful Christians who are confused about how they are to think about prayer, missions, giving—any area in which our efforts could be wrongly pitted against God's own necessary action. Packer introduces us to clear truths, handles Scripture with exemplary care, and supplies us with just the right amount of illustrations and application.”
