"It has been a delight to read, and equally, a joy to reflect on what is contained here. What Maury does so ably is to disempower and dismantle the idea of the absolute decree outside of, or apart from, Christ."
--John Rietveld, Christian Coaching Institute, Australia

"This book will be a considerable service to those who find the work of Barth a source of endless inspiration and challenge. But it also puts before a wider theological public the opportunity for a second look at a doctrine far too readily consigned to the mistakes of Christian history."
--Christiaan Mostert, University of Divinity, Melbourne, Australia

"From where did Karl Barth ever get the outrageous idea that predestination is the sum and essence of the good news? One place is the work of the lesser-known French pastor-theologian Pierre Maury. This revised and expanded edition re-introduces readers of English to Maury's fresh and stimulating thinking on this doctrine, and the accompanying essays helpfully locate the significance of such in Barth's work, and invite fresh opportunities for doing theology after Barth."
