Short-Sighted Faith Deidre Richardson

Theologians who have advocated Once Saved Always Saved (or the Doctrine of Eternal Security) have done their best to remain faithful to Scripture and to instill comfort into the hearts and minds of the people of God. But what if this doctrine is wrong? What if Eternal Security is a philosophical doctrine of Calvinism that only holds true for those whom Calvinists believe God has "elected" to salvation? In Short-Sighted Faith: Once Saved, Always Saved and the Doctrine of Perseverance, Deidre Richardson seeks to examine this doctrine alongside of the warnings of Scripture. Rather than a one-time act that remains once exercised at conversion, Richardson shows through Scripture that faith must be exercised daily until death. We've only given the Church half the gospel in Romans 10:9; now, it's time to give the remainder of the gospel, Hebrews 11:6.
