What does an individual contribute to his or her own salvation? Does God wait on the doorsteps of our hearts, quietly hoping to be let in when we decide to open the door? Or does he call us and pursue us in a way we can't resist? The debate between the irresistible call of God and a human being's free will has raged for centuries. So what is the answer? And why does it matter?

In Willing to Believe, R. C. Sproul uncovers issues that provoked the Reformation and revived the controversy between Pelagius and Augustine. He carefully explores the relationship between original sin and human free will, clarifies misconceptions about the work of God in a believer's liberation from sin, illuminates the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and offers compelling reasons to believe the work of salvation is in God's hands.

Very knowledgeable and thorough treatment by Sproul of true biblical justification, human will, and God’s sovereignty. Sproul magnificently brings to light the dire consequences of historical (and current!) misinterpretation.

Absolutely a must read

Loved that Sproul leaves no stone unturned in dealing with this very controversial subject. Inspired my faith in God's Amazing Grace.

The best in-depth study on free will I have heard.

Is sometimes hard to know if what is said is the viewpoint or is RC speaking again.

I wanted to learn more about the Calvinist point of view and like RC Sproul. This book was very thorough and enlightening on this matter. In that regard, I give this book high regards. Did it theologically convince me of a hard 5 point Calvinist worldview? No, I still feel there are big problems this theology introduces with no sufficient answers to. If you want to learn more on both sides of this subject, this is a great resource however.
