Matthew Barrett and David Schrock on the radio with Kevin Boling

“Knowing The Truth” with Pastor Kevin Boling is a live, call-in radio program providing Doctrinal Dialog, Cultural Commentary and Insightful Interviews with some of today’s foremost Christian authors and leaders. Recently Boling had on his show Matthew Barrett and David Schrock. In his interview with Barrett, executive editor of Credo Magazine, he discussed Barrett’s new book with Thomas J. Nettles, Whomever He Wills: A Surprising Display of Sovereign Mercy. Barrett talks about the biblical affirmation of the doctrines of grace, monergism in the Old Testament and in the teaching of Jesus, and much more. You can listen to Boling interview Barrett here.

In a separate broadcast, Boling also interviewed David Schrock, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Seymour, IN, and Ph.D. candidate in systematic theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Schrock discusses his chapter on particular atonement, with specific attention on the high priestly role of Christ in his atoning work on behalf of sinners. You can listen to this interview with Schrock here.

For more information on the book,  Whomever He Wills: A Surprising Display of Sovereign Mercy, visit Westminster bookstore today where the book is now available for $21.00 (18% off). Here is the back cover description:

In Romans 9:16 and 18 Paul states, “So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy …. So then He has mercy on whomever He wills, and He hardens whomever He wills.” Regretfully, many today promote a theology that argues the exact opposite! Salvation is made to depend on the human will, rather than on God’s mercy. In contrast, the authors of Whomever He Wills defend the biblical affirmation of God’s sovereign choice in salvation. God reigns supreme over all things and He will accomplish His purpose in saving His people without fail.

This book deals with the timeless issues of the ineffable glory of the grace of God and the dependence of sinners on unalloyed mercy. It also addresses a highly contemporary conflict in Southern Baptist life over the character of this very mercy.
