Saved by Grace through Faith or Saved by Decree?

“In his assiduous analysis of the Calvinist doctrine of salvation, Geoffrey Robinson provides an array of rich and challenging insights. Whether you are a pastor, seminarian, or layperson, you will be abundantly rewarded by reading this book.”


—Chad Meister, Bethel University





“Robinson makes a powerful argument that the doctrine of original sin and its derivative notion of total inability stand contrary to Scripture, emerging as a reactionary movement of Augustine to the Pelagian controversy. Similarly, Robinson constructs a strong case that a divinely deterministic decree to salvation or condemnation would have been rejected by the biblical authors. Proponents of such doctrines need to honestly wrestle with the critiques Robinson poses.”


—Kirk R. MacGregor, McPherson College





“Robinson’s work is much needed in light of the recent resurgence of Calvinism. He has put forth detailed biblical and theological arguments to substantially support his thesis. While being fair to the Calvinistic worldview, he is able to highlight its inherent weaknesses while offering a much more sound biblical approach to the vitally important doctrine of our salvation.”
