What is the true nature of salvation?
Is it entirely the work of God—or does humanity play a meaningful role?

In Monergism and Synergism: Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility in Salvation, readers are invited into one of the most profound and enduring theological debates in Christian history. With clarity, depth, and pastoral sensitivity, this book explores the tension between God’s sovereign grace and the human call to respond in faith.

Tracing the development of these doctrines from the early Church through the Reformation and into modern denominational perspectives, this work engages the insights of figures such as Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jacobus Arminius. Through careful biblical exegesis and theological reflection, it examines key questions that have shaped Christian thought for centuries:

Is grace irresistible, or can it be resisted?
Does regeneration precede faith, or follow it?
How do divine sovereignty and human responsibility coexist?
Can believers have true assurance of salvation?

More than a theological survey, this book offers a compelling synthesis—one that honors the full witness of Scripture while remaining grounded in real-world faith and ministry. It challenges readers to think deeply, wrestle honestly, and ultimately rest in a salvation that is wholly of grace and personally embraced.

Balanced, biblically rich, and pastorally insightful, this volume is essential reading for pastors, students, and anyone seeking to understand the mystery of how God saves.

You are invited not just to study this doctrine—
but to encounter the grace that transforms.
