Synopsis

Do Christians choose to have faith, or is faith a supernatural work of God? Far from an abstract intellectual exercise, this question has vast implications for the hope, joy, and assurance of the Christian life. When the truth of God’s sovereign grace breaks into our minds and hearts, it changes everything. In What’s So Great about the Doctrines of Grace? Dr. Richard D. Phillips takes us on a tour of the doctrines of grace, also known as the five points of Calvinism. With clear biblical exposition, he helps us to see the extent of our corruption in sin, to anchor our faith in the fullness of grace, and to trust in God’s promise to finish what He started—the salvation of His people. When we rely on God’s all-sufficient grace, we can truly live for His all-consuming glory.

Goodreads review by Nick on February 20, 2024

Overall a great introduction / defense for the doctrines of Grace. Appreciate giving some input from the Arminian point of view, but also doing a very thorough job in present the Calvinist view in 100 or so pages. Highly recommend. Praise be to God for His Sovereignty.......more
