What did early Jews and Christians believe about election? Dr. Chad Thornhill, author of The Chosen People, unpacks how election in Second Temple Judaism was mostly corporate, conditional, and vocational—not individual or deterministic. We explore how this historical context reshapes how we read Paul, Romans 9, Ephesians 1, and the doctrine of predestination today.
Dr. Thornhill completed the MAR, MDiv, and PhD at Liberty University. He teaches courses in New Testament, Greek, and Theology. He is the author of The Chosen People (IVP, 2015), Greek for Everyone (Baker, 2016), and co-editor of Divine Impassibility (IVP, 2019).
