What will jump out first from picking up this book is it seems the entire Reformed community has come together to pay its respects for the work Dr. White has undertaken. But what exactly is the burden Dr. White has taken upon himself in writing a rebuttal of Dr. Norman Geisler's Chosen But Free? The Potter's Freedom stands not only as a rebuttal of Dr. Geisler; nor as merely a defense of Reformed theology; but the very gospel itself. It is a call for a new section in our Theology Proper: the

The Potter's Freedom has an interesting history. In 1986 (updated in 1994) R.C. Sproul published a book titled "Chosen By God," which served (and still serves) as a great introduction to the doctrine of predestination at the popular level. In 1999 (2nd edition in 2001, 3rd edition in 2010) Norman Geisler responded to that book with his own work entitled "Chosen But Free." Geisler's work was touted as the definitive work on the relationship between divine election and human

This book is written as a response to Dr. Norman Geisler's Chosen But Free, in which Dr. Geisler promotes the idea of "moderate Calvinism" (actually Arminianism) and warns about the dangers of "extreme Calvinism" (Reformed Faith/Calvinism) while devoting special attention to free will.
There's no need to have read Chosen But Free to follow along in The Potter's Freedom, as James White quotes from the relevant passages out of the former and allows the reader to easi More...

This book refutes man as the author of his own salvation, clearly showing forth God as The "Author and Finisher of our faith." God is either sovereign in all things, including (especially!) in salvation, or He is not a sovereign God at all. Dr. White explains God's role in saving sinners and His right to save whomever He so chooses. And unlike some other writers and debaters, White uses scripture to defend his points, not just what seems "fair" or make sense to the (infinite

A fantastic read, very well written. Lots of heavy duty theology but written in such a way where you don't need a seminary degree to understand it. Classic reform theology represented; on the lines of the great writers and bible teachers like Spurgeon, Edwards and Luther

A must read if you have questions about the issue of Gods grace versus mans will. White is an esteemed apologist, professional debater, and an expert in many world religions and cults. White is here answering a book Norm Geisler wrote called Chosen but Free.

This book was instrumental in convincing me to embrace the Reformed doctrines. I am eternally indebted to Dr. James White for writing this. HIs detailed exegesis of key passages is irrefutable.

I'd like to be charitable, but frankly I highly question one who reads Geislers "Chosen but Free" and finds still finds it compelling after reading this useful and well thought out critique.

A very good book refuting Norman Geisler's "Chosen But Free." The author makes the case that Geisler is presenting what is in effect classical Arminianism, yet for some reason referring to it as "moderate Calvinism" and to classical Calvinism as "extreme Calvinism." I wouldn't agree with the review on the back cover that says it's "charitably written," however--it gets quite confrontational at times, but his doesn't seem unreasonable in light of the fact t
