Loraine Boettner offers a philosophical argument against the Arminian view of the foreknowledge of God.

The author sets out to describe what is meant by the expression "salvation by grace." It captures man's position in the misery of his sinfulness, God's choice to save man, and thus how salvation is not something that anyone can earn by merit but is a display of the grace of God.

This article discusses the teaching of efficacious grace as embraced by Calvinists. The article focuses on the inward change that is necessarily worked supernaturally, the effect produced in the soul, and the sufficiency of Christ's work on behalf of those for whom he suffered.

The author believes that the future of Christianity is in the theology of Calvinism. He goes on to emphasize the basic tenets of Calvinism such as the sovereignty of God, total depravity, the atonement of Christ, the foreknowledge of God and the so-called universalistic passages.

This article relates the teaching of the perseverance of the saints to another Calvinistic doctrine, the doctrine of election. It explains further this relation, noting the role of man and the role of God in the process of perseverance, the possibility of backsliding, the danger of relying on external conduct as a sign of election, and the insecure ground of belief on which Arminianism stands.

The article compares the differences between predestination and fatalism. The teachings of predestination are spelled out clearly and reference made to such theologians as Calvin and Luther. On the other hand, fatalism is traced to philosophical circles such as the Stoics.

Did Christ offer himself up as a sacrifice for all people, or only for a limited number? The author replies that the atonement of Christ was sufficient to save the whole human race, but was efficient to save only the elect. The Arminians, however, argue that the atonement has made it possible for all men to cooperate with the divine grace, and thus come to salvation if they will believe. The author argues that if the Arminian view is right, then millions of those for whom Christ died have been lost, which means that his sacrifice could not save them.

The doctrine of total depravity teaches the extent and effects of original sin in man. However, it also aims at making man realize the sovereignty of God's grace in salvation. This is what the article explains.
