Synopsis

Calvinistic Election Unscriptural, And Incapable Of A Rational Defence. A Reply To A Review In The Evangelical Magazine; And Likewise To Two Lectures On Election, Lately Publ. By J. Mather, by Abraham Scott is a compelling critique of Calvinistic election. The author argues that the Bible presents election as conditional, based on faith and obedience, rather than as an unconditional divine decree. In response to a review in The Evangelical Magazine and two lectures by Rev. J. Mather, Scott advocates for a non-Calvinist interpretation of Scripture, emphasizing that Christ died for all and that the elect are those who believe, repent, and persevere. The text examines key biblical passages, including Romans XI, John 3, Ephesians, and Peter, while challenging concepts such as reprobation, irresistible grace, and common grace. It incorporates historical quotations from Calvin, Edwards, and Clement, asserting that theological conclusions should align with Scripture, reason, and universal Christian experience. This edition is a 1924 reprint, contributing to the ongoing discussions of predestination, free will, and salvation from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
