From Sovereign Grace and the Scope of Election: A Comparative Examination of Attainment Theology and Grace Theology, with Particular Attention to the Question of Whether God's Elect Are Found Among All Nations and Religions

Readers who wish to test this study against the primary literature should begin with: Augustine, On the Predestination of the Saints and On the Gift of Perseverance; Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion 3.21-24 and 4.16; the Westminster Confession and the Second London Baptist Confession (1689), chapter 10; John Gill, A Body of Doctrinal Divinity; Jerome Zanchius, Absolute Predestination; Andrew Fuller, The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation; W. G. T. Shedd, Dogmatic Theology and Calvinism: Pure and Mixed; B. B. Warfield, "Are They Few That Be Saved?"; Abraham Kuyper, The Work of the Holy Spirit; Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, volume 4; and, for the contemporary taxonomy of positions on the unevangelized, John Sanders, No Other Name, alongside its restrictivist critics. Citations in this study to these works are to positions and arguments rather than to page-anchored quotations, and a documented edition would supply full references.
