Salvation Theory, Religion & Spirituality 

SummaryThe doctrines of grace are often known as the five points of Calvinism, but they were not the invention of John Calvin or his reforming cohorts of the sixteenth century. Rather, they are biblical doctrines, as Dr. Steven J. Lawson demonstrated in his book Foundations of Grace (2006). Now, in Pillars of Grace, Dr. Lawson shows that the doctrines of grace have been understood and taught sometimes in embryonic form, sometimes with great clarity throughout church history. From the time of the early church fathers to the years of the Reformers, there have been key men in the church, pillars as it were, who stood on the foundation of Scripture and upheld the truth of God's sovereign role in salvation.ChaptersPillars of Sovereign GraceFirst among the FathersGod-BearerDefender of the FaithOpposing GnosticismFather of Latin TheologyMaster of RhetoricAgainst the WorldResisting ArianismExpositor of the TrinityImperial ConscienceGuardian of GraceSpanish ScholarChampion for PredestinationPhilosopher-TheologianMonastic ReformerDoctor ProfundusMorning Star of the ReformationFiery ForerunnerFortress for TruthZurich RevolutionaryPrince of TranslatorsCovenant TheologianTheologian for the AgesResources and ToolsOne in the three-volume A Long Line of Godly Men seriesScripture indexSubject index - from Amzon
