The Justification of God

The Justification of GodJohn Piper presents a careful, reasoned study of the doctrine of election. He dissects Paul's argument to highlight the picture of God and his righteousness painted in Romans 9. Undergirded by his belief that the sovereignty of God is too precious a part of our faith to dismiss or approach weak kneed, Piper explores the Greek text and Paul's argument with singular deftness.
