<p><strong>The Doctrine of Predestination</strong> explores Samuel Blair’s 1742 defense of God’s sovereign grace — a work praised by <strong>Archibald Alexander</strong> as the hand of a master. Writing during the era of the Log College and the Great Awakening, Blair answered objections to election not with speculation, but with Scripture — grounding the doctrine in Romans 9, Ephesians 1, and the justice and mercy of God.</p><p>In this episode, we examine Blair’s life, his pastoral purpose, and his argument that absolute election humbles the sinner, excludes boasting, and gives all the glory to Christ alone.</p><p></p>
