This book is taken from McMahon's larger work: The Two Wills of God: Does God Really Have Two Wills, (a Ph.D. dissertation). In this newly revised concise form, he has updated key parts to this vital work, and removed extraneous portions in order to explain and study the will of God. What biblical doctrine is more important than knowing what GodÕs will is for our lives? If the ChristianÕs doctrine of God is wrong, how can he be sure to have anything else right? This study deals with questions like: Does God desire the salvation of all men, or some men? If the wicked perish, and God desires their salvation, is GodÕs will frustrated when the sinner goes his own way? Why is God seen as sovereign in one part of Scripture, but seen as Òrepenting,Ó and even Òchanging His mindÓ in another? Is there such a thing as Òcommon grace?Ó Does God desire things He does not decree, and decree things He does not desire? These questions are a matter of great theological importance and responsible hermeneutics.
