There was a criticism raise against my book by an amazon reviewer specifically on my treatment of the doctrine of election (and predestination). Here, NT Wright speaks to the criticism. With this, SFP never claims to have the scope to go into great detail on such issues. SFP is intended to be an orientation to the reality that salvation is something much more than the forgiveness of sins—the substitutionary atonement is merely a single dimension of a larger, much more complex narrative.
