It is "The Meaning of Grace" by Charles Journet. Very profound and yet understandable. There is a excellent book that describes the Catholic understanding of predestination well and in depth.

On the other hand, there are many others who find the the Epistles to Timothy equally to show spirit-filled faith, and that is just as valid an argument. Clearly, then, one needs a more objective argument to settle the issue. Well, that is certainly an argument that the Epistles have different authors.

Clearly to "deny him" is only an illusion that Timothy believed and Paul did not. You said:
