The Doctrine of Election (Calvin) History and Jay Sklar have gatheredTranslated from the French by Robert White When Calvin says he would not have spoken of election had Scripture not led the way, we need not doubt his word. He defends the doctrine with vigour because it runs as an unbroken thread through both Old and New Testaments. Like the doctrines of providence, atonement, and the new birth, it is a doctrine of sovereign grace. Calvin did not invent election: it is a doctrine which belongs to the universal church.
