Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God

Book •
J. I.

Packer's "Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God" addresses the apparent tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility in evangelism.

Packer argues that God's sovereignty doesn't negate the importance of evangelistic efforts.

Instead, it underscores the need for reliance on God's power in the process of conversion.

The book explores the theological underpinnings of evangelism within a Calvinistic framework, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit and the necessity of prayer.

It challenges common misconceptions about Calvinism and its implications for missionary work.

Packer's work remains influential in shaping evangelical approaches to evangelism.
