Misconceptions about God's sovereignty arise from wrong views of God's nature. Through a careful comparison of the writings of Charles Chauncy (1705-87) and John Gill (1697-1771) with the development of the ecumenical creeds, this book helps to resolve such misunderstandings by detecting and correcting human-centered reasoning in the doctrines of the Trinity and salvation. Drawing on both ancient Christian writings and Reformation-era teachings, Earth Shadows on the Sky: The Holy Trinity, Divine Sovereignty, and Humanistic Philosophy offers an innovative approach to questions about God's sovereignty.
