Each contributor offers both an articulation of their own view and responses to the other views in question. The result is a robust reflection on one of the most central--and controversial--tenets of the faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eViews and Contributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Augustinian-Reformed View (Hans Madueme, Covenant College)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Moderate Reformed View (Oliver Crisp, The University of St. Andrews)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Wesleyan View (Joel B.
