The Wonderful Decree: Reconciling Sovereign Election and Universal Benevolence

“The Wonderful Decree is an instructive study that marshals logic, Scripture, and theological history, even as it recounts personal pain and grace. It investigates the classic debate concerning the relationship of unconditional election and the Gospel’s expression of divine saving love. Whether or not you are convinced by Travis Campbell‘s analysis, you will benefit from his readable scholarship and encouraged by his compelling testimony. ”

“I highly recommend this book to anyone who may question how a Thomistic metaphysics and a Reformed theology can (and should) go hand in hand in addressing pertinent issues of life. For others, who are not as concerned with conceptual issues per se, this book will open their eyes to the love of God in the face of life’s hardships. ”

“The Wonderful Decree is in my estimation one of the most significant contributions to Christian thought from the last century. Here the reader will find a sophisticated discussion of a whole range of issues relating to divine providence, predestination, and the nature of human freedom. ”

“This book is a tightly reasoned, densely researched, scholastic argument—but it comes from a place of personal passion and pain, and its inexorable logic is forwarded with pastoral purpose. ”

“This work makes a helpful contribution and should be read by all who are interested in issues related to our wonderful salvation. ”
