Grace Is Too Precious a Doctrine to Settle for Vague Generalities

Grace--a doctrine central to the gospel--ought to be clearly defined so it can be celebrated, relished, and consistently defended.

In this book, Kevin DeYoung leads us back to the Canons of Dort, a seventeenth-century document originally written to precisely and faithfully define this precious doctrine.

The Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to the precise nature of God's supernatural, sovereign, redeeming, resurrecting grace--when so many people settle for vague generalities that water down the truth.

In three concise sections--covering history, theology, and practical application-- DeYoung explores what led to the Canons and why they were needed, the five important doctrines that they explain, and Dort's place in the Christian faith today.

„DeYoung aduce un eveniment de acum patru sute de ani chiar inapoi in nevoile actuale ale bisericii si ale teologiei”.

In aceasta carte, Kevin DeYoung ne conduce inapoi la canoanele din Dort, un document din secolul al XVII-lea scris initial pentru a defini cu precizie si fidelitate aceasta pretioasa doctrina. Canoanele din Dort stau ca un martor fidel al naturii exacte a harului supranatural, suveran, rascumparator si inviat al lui Dumnezeu - cand atat de multi oameni In trei sectiuni concise - care acopera istoria, teologia si aplicatia practica - DeYoung exploreaza ce a condus la canoane si de ce au fost necesare, cele cinci doctrine importante pe care le explica si locul lui Dort in credinta crestina de astazi.
