Jenson on election

A couple juicy nuggets from Jenson:

“The speaking of the gospel is the event of predestination in that the gospel gives what it speaks about, but this eschatological efficacy of the gospel is the Spirit.  We must parody Barth: the Holy Spirit is the choosing God.”

And: “Predestination is simply the doctrine of justification stated in the active voice.  if we change ‘We are justified by God alone’ from passive to active we get ‘God alone justifies us.’”
