The Sovereignty of God

2011 Reprint of 1959 Sixth Edition. In The Sovereignty of God A.W. Pink outlines the sovereignty of God from a Christian standpoint. He defines Gods sovereignty and then explains how Gods sovereignty is characterized in creation and salvation. Then Pink discusses the relationship between Gods sovereignty and the human will. Finally Pink describes the appropriate attitude Christians should take towards Gods sovereignty and considers several difficulties that Christian may face in adopting this attitude. The issues Pink raises in this book have previously been addressed by many prominent figures such as St. Augustine St. Aquinas Calvin and Jonathan Edwards. Pink studied these wise men and draws from their conclusions in his own writing but ultimately the author places his perspective in light of Gods Word. Pink strongly believed that true faith rests not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Pink wants his readers to gain a firm grasp on the biblical text rather than the secondary literature and he aims to highlight Scripture in his book.
