Description: In an age of weak theology and casual Christianity--when we have substituted intuition for truth, feeling for belief and immediate gratification for enduring hope--the church desperately needs to return to the doctrines of grace that shook the world during the Reformation. As authors James Boice and Philip Ryken compellingly consider the current challenges, they leave no doubt that the church suffers when these foundational truths are neglected. Only in a faith that is practical-minded, kind-hearted and biblically based will Christians recover what they have lost in this postmodern world.

There is no question that we live in an age of weak theology and casual Christianity. We have substituted intuition for truth, feeling for belief and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Evangelicalism desperately needs to return to the doctrines that once before reformed the world: radical depravity, unconditional election, particular redemption, efficacious grace and persevering grace.

James Boice and Philip Ryken not only provide a compelling exposition on these doctrines of grace, but also look briefly at their historical impact. The authors leave no doubt that the church suffers when these foundational truths are neglected and that she must return to a Christianity that is practical-minded, kind-hearted, and most importantly, biblically based.
