Election and Free Will: God's Gracious Choice and Our Responsibility is what I believe to be the first volume in a series called "Explorations in Biblical Theology" (at least I could find no mention of previously published volumes). This book is written by Robert A. Peterson who is also serving as the Series Editor. The series is to include two types of books: some will treat biblical themes while others will deal with the theology of specific books of the Bible. Written for college seniors, seminarians, pastors and thoughtful lay readers, the volumes are intended to be accessible and unobscured by excessive reference to the original languages or to theological jargon. "Explorations in Biblical Theology is committed to being warm and winsome, with a focus on applying God's truth to life."
