Lectures on the Doctrine of Election

Lectures on the Doctrine of Election (1854) by Alexander C. Rutherford is a compilation of nine lectures originally delivered in Greenock and Glasgow, UK. In the opening preface, Rutherford makes it clear that he disagrees with John Calvin on some points and that he expected to be criticized for some of the content of these lectures. Indeed, in the first lecture, he points out where he is in disagreement with Calvin on election's relationship to reprobation. Reading the lectures from beginning (definition of terms set out) to end will give one insight as to a particular thought and interpretation of scripture that may open up new and valuable opportunities for personal reflection on the doctrine of Election.
