O knihe
John Piper has been a key figure in Reformed theology for decades, and he continues to influence many. But how can Christian missions be accommodated with predestination? This book explores the relationship between Calvinism and missions, using John Piper as a case study. It examines how Piper reconciles the doctrines of Calvinism, which emphasize God's sovereignty and predestination, with a commitment to missions and evangelism. The author discusses Piper's background, influences, and theological development, highlighting events and people who shaped his understanding of missions. Piper's belief in Christian Hedonism, which emphasizes the pursuit of everlasting pleasures that honor God, is presented as a foundational principle that motivates and dictates his missiology. The book delves into Piper's understanding of God's will and explores the concept of God having more than one way of willing. This concept allows Piper to reconcile God's universal love and desire for all people to be saved with His electing love and predestination of some. The author also defines key terms related to Calvinism and missions to provide clarity and context. The book aims to shed light on Piper's internal consistency in his theological thought and to evaluate how his understanding of God's glory motivates and dictates his missiology. It is aimed at an audience that is well-informed regarding theology.
