| Abstract | "A brief, accessible inquiry into the wideness of God's mercy in Reformed theology. How broad is the scope of salvation? To explore this question, Richard J. Mouw draws on Scripture and a rich heritage of Calvinist theology. Mouw brings voices like the old Princeton theologians, Kuyper, and Bavinck into conversation with more recent voices such as David Engelsma on pertinent topics, including: The salvation of unbaptized infants, God's wrath and love for sinners, Problems with universalism, The number of the elect. Learned yet approachable, Mouw explains how Christians can affirm God's justice while holding hope for the wideness of his saving mercy. Congregations today face pressing questions about how to reconcile orthodoxy with empathy in increasingly pluralist neighborhoods and communities. For Reformed pastors, students, and interested laypeople, Divine Generosity serves as a biblically based, doctrinally sound guide. "-- Provided by publisher. |
