CHEAP GRACE is the deadly enemy of our Church. We are fighting to-day for costly grace...Dietrich Bonhoeffer.Grace UPON Grace is a tree-volume study which highlights significant concerns for theology and ministry: What is '(the) grace (of God), ' and how does it 'work'? What is '(the) grace (of God), ' and how does it 'work'? Can a man resist God's grace, or is it irresistible, and even irrevocable? Is the message to, and the effect of God's grace upon, a believer different from an unbeliever's experience of it? Do believers possess a 'grace' of their own? Volume 1: The Covenantal Divide focuses on the wider world evangelized including the "grace" texts within the gospels of Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, and the epistle of James; Volume 2 focuses on the local churches established (the epistles of the apostle Paul); and Volume 3 the sojourning saints elected (the 'general' epistles-I & II Peter, Jude, Hebrews).
Here's what others are saying about Grace upon Grace:
"Grounded in a careful parsing of the original Greek and a thorough knowledge of the original context, this exhaustive study of grace in Luke, John, and Acts fills a needed gap for seminarians, pastors, and Bible study leaders who desire both to understand the New Testament concept of grace and to see it manifested in themselves and disseminated through their churches."
