    Divine Rhetoric and the Effectual Call

    Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture

    by Jonathan Hoglund

    Christians confess that God calls people to salvation. Reformed Christians, in particular, believe this is an effectual calling, meaning that God sovereignly brings about salvation apart from human works. But in what sense does God actually 'call' us?
