Review: ... stunning in its clarity and breadth of thought on areas about
which so many Christians are hazy or agnostic.
-- Andy Peck; Christianity; October 2004

... this book is a timely reassessment of the theology of
salvation. The consequences for the theology and practice of mission are
huge, -- John Corrie; Themelios; March 2006

Can a non-Christian be saved without making a personal response to
the gospel during his lifetime? ... An optimism in the sovereign mercy of
God should not lead to a complacency in evangelism. -- Chris Sinkinson; Evangelicals Now; April 2005
