2009 Kantzer Lecture #6 - An Exposition of Romans 9-11 with a Positive Proposal
Professor Williams' sixth and final lecture dwells on the relation of election to several key themes: universalism, justification, perseverance and above all, assurance. Though he insists that election grounds assurance, nevertheless, all must heed both the promises regarding salvation and the warnings for falling away. One and the same individual receives both promise and warning. The truly exceptional contribution of Williams lecture is his christocentric idea of assurance. More than good works or the internal witness of the Spirit, there is only one to whom we can turn for faith and assurance of salvation, Jesus Christ himself.
Stephen N. Williams (PhD Yale University) is Honorary Professor of Theology at Queen’s University and served as a Senior Research Fellow with the Creation Project. His books include Revelation and Reconciliation: A Window on Modernity (Cambridge University Press, 1996), The Shadow of the Antichrist: Nietzsche’s Critique of Christianity (Baker Academic, 2006), and The Election of Grace: A Riddle without a Resolution? (Eerdmans, 2015).
The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
