Description: What is the role of the will in believing the
good news of the gospel? Why is there so much controversy over free will
throughout church history? R. C. Sproul finds that Christians have often been
influenced by pagan views of the human will that deny the effects of Adam's
fall.
In Willing to Believe, Sproul traces the free-will controversy
from its formal beginning in the fifth century, with the writings of Augustine
and Pelagius, to the present. Readers will gain understanding into the nuances
separating the views of Protestants and Catholics, Calvinists and Arminians, and
Reformed and Dispensationalists. This book, like Sproul's Faith Alone, is a
major work on an essential evangelical tenet.
