Este documento presenta una introducción a la doctrina de la predestinación según la perspectiva calvinista. Explica que el propósito del libro es reafirmar y demostrar que el sistema calvinista es bíblico y razonable. Menciona que aunque la doctrina de la predestinación recibe poca atención hoy en día, ha tenido una gran influencia en la iglesia y el estado. Resalta que importantes líderes de la Reforma como Lutero, Calvino, Bullinger y Bucer defendieron esta doctrina.
One of my favourite books! It helped me in understanding the breadth and depth of the Reformed faith. I highly recommend it.
Classic defense of the Reformed faith, specifically Calvinism. Good rebuttals of common objections.
Comprehensive treatment of Reformed doctrine, not just predestination.
Here is my critical review of Boettner's book:

I write this review from a non-Calvinist perspective. I discovered a review from this fellow, who I think makes a fair criticism of Bottner's work from a Reformed-Calvinist perspective:

“Boettner was trying to do the right thing but suffered from such a narrow
understanding of the subject. This is perhaps the first major use of ‘TULIP’
to explain predestination. It lacks the larger covenantal context, as well as
any well-informed explanation of moderate Calvinism. The exegesis is
strained as well. This book is historic but flawed” (Steven Wedgeworth)
