Grace in Practice | Paul F. M. Zahl

Paul F. M. Zahl. Grace in Practice: A Theology of Everyday Life. Eerdmans, 2007. 279 pp.

Grace in Practice is a challenging call to live life under grace—a concept most Christians secretly have trouble with. Paul Zahl pulls no punches, contending that no matter how often we talk about salvation by grace, in our “can-do” society we often cling instead to a righteousness of works. Asserting throughout that grace always trumps both law and church, Zahl illuminates an expansive view of grace in everything, extending the good news of grace to all creation. Conversationally written and filled with fascinating insights, Grace in Practice will reward any Christian who seeks to understand the full measure of God’s grace and the total freedom it offers.

Perspectives on Church Government | Chad Owen Brand & R. Stanton Norman, eds.

Chad Owen Brand & R. Stanton Norman, eds. Perspectives on Church Government: Five Views of Church Polity. B&H, 2004. 353 pp.

Perspectives on Church Government presents in counterpoint form the basic models of church government which have developed over the course of church history with a view toward determining which is most faithful to Scripture. Each chapter will be written by a prominent person from within each tradition—with specific guidelines dealing with the biblical, historical, and theological issues within each governance tradition. In addition, each writer will have the opportunity to give a brief response to the other traditions.
