The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty.

During Jesus' earthly ministry, one of the primary ways he would instruct his disciples was through parables. People would gather from far and wide in order to listen to what Jesus said about the kingdom of God, and the most common way he would explain the kingdom was in parables. But what does God want us to learn from these parables? In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines several parables of Jesus, exploring the rich truths they reveal about who Jesus is and what he came to achieve through his life, death, and resurrection.

Many people react negatively to the word theology, believing that it involves dry, fruitless arguments about minute points of doctrine. Yet as Dr. R.C. Sproul argues, everyone is a theologian. Any time we think about a teaching of the Bible and strive to understand it, we are engaging in theology. Therefore, it is important that we put the Bible's varied teachings together in a systematic fashion, using proper, time-tested methods of interpretation so as to arrive at a theology that is founded on truth.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars? The Charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. Best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.

Publisher's Summary
With nearly 200,000 copies sold in its 25 years, Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn't just for Calvinists, says Sproul. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn't create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God but paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God's ways but not contradiction.

Great read filled with insight
Sproul’s purpose for writing Chosen By God was to engage his readers in the discussion of predestination. Sproul writes, “ We discuss it because we cannot avoid it. It is a doctrine plainly set forth in the Bible. We Talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept.”(2) Chosen By God defines the reformed view of predestination and deal with the arguments for and against it. Along with the reformed view, Sproul clarifies why competing views on predestination like Arminianism, non-reformed, and Catholicism do not stand up to Biblical review. He also covers the slight differences between the Reformed view and Calvinism. Sproul feels that “It is our duty to seek the correct view of predestination, lest we be guilty of distorting or ignoring the Word of God.” (3) Sproul does a masterful job developing the book’s flow and the specific subject matter that he covers, giving a reader a broad and deep understanding of predestination. No matter what stance a reader has on predestination, Sproul provides much great information to challenge or confirm that stance. He does a great job of going through the key Scriptures that deal with each chapter’s topic. Additionally, Sproul provides a substantial recommendation for additional Scriptures for further study. Sproul makes it clear that every chapter of this book deserves the treatment of a sperate book on its own. Indeed, several writers have produced books on these subjects. However, this is not to say that Sproul’s treatment is not sufficient; it is much more than just a review of predestination. Sproul has a clear and compelling writing style that allows the reader to understand where he is going with the subject matter. His style is engaging, enjoyable, and not overly didactic, and easy to read. It is evident that he has mastered the subject at hand and does a great job of breaking it down for the reader. While reading the book, Sproul continually takes us to the Scriptures to enlighten and highlight what God has to say about the subject. His use of the Bible as his single-source shows one of his biggest strengths: to be faithful to the text. It shows that he understands that this is a biblical issue and not just a denomination issue. There are many different views on predestination because people try and avoid the subject or fail to go back to the text to develop the correct understanding of the issue. Sproul is a reformer bent toward Calvinism, but we see him just using the text to develop his arguments and support for the reformed view on predestination. Sproul’s use of the text gives the reader the ability to see his approach and determine if they agree with his interpretation or not. The only weakness in the book, and it is one that Sproul himself points out, is the lack of a more in-depth treatment of the question, “Did Jesus die for everyone?” This specific question is the central sticking point for many Christians, even reformed Christians. When most Christians look at the totality of the story of the Bible, some find it hard to resolve the concept that God has limited his atonement. There is even a branch of Calvinist that calls themselves four-point Calvinist because of limited atonement. When reading this book, it is hard to say if the reviewer has any specific disagreements with the author. The subject is intense and filled with some mysteries that will not be answered on this side of heaven. Additional research and reading on this specific subject are required to develop a full and rounded understanding of all the issues involved in developing a complete and steadfast stance on the finer points. One point that Sproul pointed out that is new to the reviewer is the discussion on how God views good deeds compared to why we do good deeds. Sproul points out that God does not just look at the outward appearance of the good deed. God reads the heart and can know if the deed comes from our genuine love of God or self-interest. The point is that at times we need to look at our motives to perform good deeds. There are times when they may be motivated by the possibility of winning men’s applause for our good deeds. Sproul says that no matter how minuscule, there is at least a grain of self-interest mixed in with our good deeds. If we deny that, our very denials maybe be motivated in part by self-interest (84).

Best Simple Overview On Election
This favorite of Dr. Sproul has become a classic due to the clear and concise manner in which he presents the reformed biblical doctrine of election. It is a great place to start if you’re curious about predestination, or if you want to understand the basics of sovereign grace. Salvation belongs to God alone.

Clear and Understandable
R.C Sproul has a wonderful and clear way of communicating the biblical teachings that are summarised in the acronym T.U.L.I.P. though it may be somewhat infamous T.U.L.I.P is but a part of reformed teaching and R.C uses it as the spine of this book to clearly depict the reality of God's ability to choose and what that means for believers and unbelievers.
A great book for those wondering about predestination and reformed teaching.
