Description
In 24 chapters, from the early church fathers starting with Clement of Rome up through the early Protestant reformers and ending with John Calvin, Lawson highlights their courageous stands for the truths of the gospel found in the doctrines of grace.
"The 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. 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 ... who stood on the foundation of Scripture and upheld the truth of God's sovereign role in salvation... (Lawson) walks readers through the ups and downs of church history, profiling these voices for the truth... the doctrines of grace are no innovation, but the consistent witness of some of the greatest men of the church."
