伯特納是廿世紀中期美國改革宗最重要的神學家之一。改革宗預定論的教義經常受到人的誤解，在教會歷史上也引發許多的論戰。伯特納在本書中，條理分明地為預定論的教義作出辯護。他以神的主權為起點，為讀者介紹所謂的「鬱金香」（TULIP，加爾文主義五要點）的教義內涵，並且針對反對者的看法，一一予以回應。本書的下半部論及預定論對信徒的意義，並為讀者介紹加爾文主義的歷史發展。如果您想要確實瞭解改革宗預定論，本書是最好的起點。
Boettner was one of the most important reformed theologians in the United States in the mid-twentieth century. The doctrine of Reformed predestination is often misunderstood by people, and it has also caused many controversies in the history of the church. In this book, Boettner clearly defends the doctrine of predestination. Starting from the sovereignty of God, he introduces the doctrinal connotation of the so-called "Tulip" (TULIP, Five Points of Calvinism) to readers, and responds to the views of opponents one by one. The second half of the book discusses the significance of predestination to believers, and introduces readers to the historical development of Calvinism. If you want to really understand the reformed predestination, this book is the best starting point.
