Theology of Election and Predestination

This chapter explores the concept of 'election' in Christian theology, particularly focusing on 'elect angels' and its interpretations within different theological frameworks, mainly Calvinism. It delves into the complexities of predestination and reprobation, contrasting views of Calvinists and Lutherans while examining the influence of Thomas Aquinas on these doctrines. The discussion highlights the nuances of lapsarianism and the implications for the understanding of salvation, especially regarding the lack of redemptive opportunities for angels.
