What is meant by the ‘sovereignty’ of God? Where is this idea taught in the Scriptures? How does it show itself in creation, salvation, and prayer? If God is ‘sovereign’, how does this relate to the exercise of human will?
All these questions and more are answered and discussed in The Sovereignty of God. In the many decades since this work was first published, it has become known as a first-class treatment of a vital subject — a reliable ‘go-to’ guide to return to often.
To come to grips with the doctrine of God’s sovereignty is no mere academic exercise. As the author makes clear, ‘The doctrine of God’s sovereignty is a divine cordial to refresh our spirits. It is designed and adapted to mould the affections of the heart, and to give a right direction to conduct.’
This book remains, for younger and older Christians alike, a stimulus to growth in spiritual maturity and sanctification.
N.B. From time to time we receive questions about the editing of the Banner of Truth edition (first printed 1961) of A. W. Pink’s The Sovereignty of God. Chapter 16 of Iain H. Murray’s The Life of Arthur Pink, which can be read here, deals at length with these questions.
