"Today, people often know why a biologist or a historian is
important. But many people draw a blank when asked what a
theologian would be good for. Just in time, The Grammar of Grace
reminds us that the theologians are important because they know (or
should know) about the reality and communication of God's grace.
This highly welcome anthology displays the riches that the life of
theological learning, united with Christ, has to offer."
--Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary
"Grace is central to Christianity, but also-maybe therefore--highly
contentious; it could be argued that all controversies among
Christians revolve round the notion of grace. This wonderful
anthology of passages--drawn from treatises, rules of living,
prayer and praise--illustrates both the richness of grace, as its
manifold signs are explored, and a sense of the one thing
necessary: Christ and his grace."
--Andrew Louth, Durham University
"This anthology is a remarkable accomplishment. Traversing the
entire history of the church, every major Christian tradition, and
a spectrum of literary genres, Eilers, Cocksworth, and Silvas take
the reader on an exhilarating pilgrimage, centering throughout on
the proximity of God. The result is a tremendous collection of
writings that focus on the Christian life--the grammar of God's
undeserved, transformative favor in Jesus Christ. The retrieval
theology of The Grammar of Grace illuminates life with God as the
pulsing heartbeat of the Christian tradition."
--Hans Boersma, Regent College
