Description: In the late nineteenth century, two distinct reform movements coming out of the Dutch State Reformed Church (the Afscheiding of 1834 and the Doleantie of 1886) merged to form The Reformed Churches of the Netherlands ( De Geereformeerde Kerken in Nederland). While both groups had much in common, there remained fundamental points of disagreement, which erupted into controversies over such doctrines as immediate regeneration and presumptive regeneration.

In Saved by Grace, Herman Bavinck discusses God’s gracious work in bringing fallen sinners to new life and salvation. He gives a careful historical analysis that shows how Reformed theologians have wrestled to understand and express the Holy Spirit’s work in calling and regeneration since the seventeenth century. Bavinck also brings exegetical precision and theological clarity to the discussion, carefully avoiding the errors of undervaluing and overvaluing the use of means in work of salvation. This book, therefore, takes up questions with which every new generation of Reformed writers must grapple.

Note: This volume has not been excerpted from Bavinck's four-volume Reformed Dogmatics, but is instead a completely separate work.  Saved by Grace "offers in a more popular form Bavinck's treatment of God's gracious work in bringing fallen sinners to new life and salvation."

"The current tempest in the North American evangelical teapot about the doctrine of salvation was more than matched in Dutch Reformed circles around 1900. As he was then, Herman Bavinck remains a biblically wise, calm, clear, and sure-footed guide in a controversy too often marked by the deadly combination of high-order speculation and adamant conviction. The translation of these studies, prepared for a broad, general church audience, does ample justice to Bavinck's own lucid prose and Mark Beach's superb introduction clarifies the intense debates generated by Abraham Kuyper's views on regeneration while also showing Kuyper in a more nuanced light than is often the case. A welcome and important addition to the growing body of Bavinck's work in English."
--John Bolt, Calvin Theological Seminary

"Wealth of scholarship, genius of systematic exposition, and depth of biblical insight are hallmarks of the theology of Herman Bavinck. In this work these features abound, and are coupled with an impressive courage of conviction, careful discrimination, soundness of judgment, and a loving desire to preserve unity among believers. Taken together, these qualities place Bavinck in the first rank of Reformed theologians. Saved by Grace has a value that stretches far beyond the immediate controversy that precipitated its writing, and presents us with a model of doctrinal profundity, systematic lucidity, and personal charity. Nelson Kloosterman and Mark Beach have placed us all in their debt for the splendid fruits of their joint labors as translator and editor."
--Sinclair Ferguson, Westminster Theological Seminary in Dallas
