Timothy George has given us a wonderful treatment of the doctrine of grace. A combination of biblical, systematic, historical and pastoral theology make this a helpful tool in teaching church members more about the grace of God in salvation. It is published by Lifeway Press, which is the former Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention and contains on the back cover glowing commendations from David Dockery, Ken Keathley and Paige Patterson.In his characteristically irenic style, Dr. George directly addresses the "hot issues" surrounding the sovereignty of God's grace. He accurately defines the TULIP acrostic and offers his own alternative: ROSES--Radical depravity, Overcoming grace, Sovereign election, Eternal life, Singular Redemption (72). The Calvinistic-Arminian debate is outlined in its historical context as well as biblically and theologically. The author makes quite clear his own theological convictions while calling on those from both sides of the debate to recognize that we have much on which to agree despite our differences. Throughout the book Dr. George shows that the enemies of biblical Calvinism are Arminianism on the one hand and the "quagmire" of hyper-Calvinism on the other. Though one would expect no less from this author it is nevertheless refreshing to see the distinction between evangelical Calvinism and fatalism clearly and forcefully stated in various places.

Now this popular primer onthe basic themes of Reformed theology has been updated andexpanded. Though written from George's Southern Baptistperspective, the book's irenic tone appeals to a wideaudience and shows how sound Reformed theology has taken root within several Reformation traditions.

New in Paper. Resources for preachers steadily appear, called forth by the perennial need on the part of working pastors for helpful and inspirational materials backed by tested experience, reverent scholarship, and creative insights. The essays in this book are of that cast, and each essay is the work of an experienced practitioner-scholar in the field of preaching. The chapters focus on the preaching ministry of Gardner Calvin Taylor, in whose honor the volume was prepared. They are offered, with affection and esteem, by colleagues, students, and friends, fellow preachers all, whose own attempts to speak the unsearchable riches of Christ owe much to the life and labors of Gardner C. Taylor. Considered by many as the greatest living American preacher, Gardner C. Taylor has often reminded other preachers about the need for divine help in fulfilling the call: All in all, a summons to the ministry is no light calling. The work of communicating the gospel requires us to be more than we are to exceed who we are. This volume will lead readers to the realization of the need for grace and a sufficiency only found in God (2 Cor 3:5 KJV) as indicated by the title.
