In The Long Faithfulness: The Case for Christian Perseverance, theologian Scot McKnight examines what the Bible says about human salvation. Inspired in part by a resurgent Calvinist movement and its particular emphasis on God's meticulous sovereignty, McKnight invites us to a clear and captivating discussion about securing the way to eternal life—the role God plays, the role we play, and the key Bible passages that illuminate the mystery of salvation. This book aims to present how the warning passages in Hebrews teach perseverance and the possibility of genuine apostasy of genuine believers. This is then applied to the re-thinking “meticulous sovereignty,” that God determines or brings about all things. If humans can resist God’s will, or undo their redemption, a case can be made that meticulous sovereignty over reaches the biblical evidence.
