Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all? J.I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">James Innell Packer</note> <subject> <topic>Providence and government of God</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">231.7</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J27-P12</classification> <identifier type="isbn">083081339X</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/31/download.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/31/download.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070603.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
