| Summary: | "The author of The Death of Christ, wherein he treats the question, "Did Christ die only for the Elect?," answers with a resounding, "No!" He argues, ably, logically and Scripturally that Christ died for all men. The Bible does not, he maintains, teach a Limited Atonement. Formerly, he was inclined to view this doctrine as rather innocuous. However, his thorough investigation has led him to look upon it as injurious. But he is no universalist or modernist. He is biblical, evangelical and moderately Calvinistic. Mr. Douty does believe in predestination and election. God has eternally elected to salvation those who are saved, but has passed by the rest of men. The non-elect are lost, however, not through God's fault, but through their own unwillingness to recent and believe. Christ died for the lost as well as for the saved. This position encourages evangelism and missions. Readers will enjoy the irenic spirit, the copious arguments, the exegesis of many Bible passages, and the numerous citations for renowned theologians." --Amazon.com.
