In the following pages an attempt has been made to examine anew in the light of God's Word some of the profoundest questions which can engage the human mind. Others have grappled with these mighty problems in days gone by and from their labors we are the gainers. While making no claim for originality the writer, nevertheless, has endeavored to examine and deal with his subject from an entirely independent viewpoint. We have studied diligently the writings of such men as Augustine and Acquinas, Calvin and Melancthon, Jonathan Edwards and Ralph Erskine, Andrew Fuller and Robert Haldane.* And sad it is to think that these eminent and honored names are almost entirely unknown to the present generation. Though, of course, we do not endorse all their conclusions, yet we gladly acknowledge our deep indebtedness to their works. We have purposely refrained from quoting freely from these deeply taught theologians, because we desired that the faith of our readers should stand not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. For this reason we have quoted freely from the Scriptures and have sought to furnish proof-texts for every statement we have advanced.It would be foolish for us to expect that this work will meet with general approval. The trend of modern theology-if theology it can be called-is ever toward the deification of the creature rather than the glorification of the Creator, and the leaven of present-day Rationalism is rapidly permeating the whole of Christendom. The malevolent effects of Darwinianism are more far reaching than most are aware. Many of those among our religious leaders who are still regarded as orthodox would, we fear, be found to be very heterodox if they were weighed in the balances of the Sanctuary. Even those who are clear, intellectually, upon other truth, are rarely sound in doctrine. Few, very few, today, really believe in the complete ruin and total depravity of man. Those who speak of man's "free will," and insist upon his inherent power to either accept or reject the Saviour, do but voice their ignorance of the real condition of Adam's fallen children. And if there are few who believe that, so far as he is concerned, the condition of the sinner is entirely hopeless, there are fewer still who really believe in the absolute Sovereignty of God.

My friend and I both ordered this book. His is 2018 printing and tiny type and difficult to read with "old" English like KJV and paragraphs are smashed together and hard to find same sentence when studying together. Mine from different seller was 2008 with larger type and NKJV like in comparison and easy to read. Now he has to buy another book.

A Must Read!
This book is a "must" read for every Christian seeking answers.
It is Scriptual.
When A.W.Pink addresses a subject there's not left anything to be said.

The best book on this subject
My husband has loved this book for over 30 years and given many copies away. I was so happy I could get him an early edition, old hardcover that we will keep forever. It has brought us much comfort and increased our faith and helped us share God's sovereignty with others.

The character of God and of mankind
Do you want to know more about the character of God and of mankind? You will find it here. The only book I've found with a clearer picture is the Bible itself, which is, by the way, quoted over and over in Brother Pink's book. Do you want to obey God, but are just not always sure how to do this? This book can show you the way. Do you have questions in your mind about God that have never been answered? Then by all means read this book! Read it with an open mind and an open heart to the things of God. Read it prayerfully, carefully and slowly. It will bless your soul and bring rejoicing to your lips!
