Written at a time when revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith was under consideration in the USA, Dr Shedd's book is a reaffirmation of the doctrines of the Confession and an answer to objections commonly raised against them. A recent reader comments: 'It would be very difficult to find a clearer book to explain the scriptural teaching on the great issues of election and all related to it.' Previously available in a cloth-bound edition, the book is now printed in paperback for the first time.
