Free Grace Soteriology

Free Grace Soteriology by Ph.D. David R. Anderson. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781615792085.

Though almost all branches of Christianity would claim to sail through the portals of heaven on a ship named GRACE, there is wide divergence of opinion on just what that means. Ones understanding of justification, regeneration, sanctification, repentance, faith, and other subjects further refine the meaning of GRACE held by different factions within Christianity. This text book presents GRACE as absolutely free, not in the sense of being cheap or easy, but in the sense of a free gift (Eph 2:9) with no strings attached on either the front end or the back end of receiving this gift. The author believes this understanding of GRACE is a corollary of dispensationalism. Presented as an alternative to either Arminianism or Calvinism, this mediating position claims that Gods so great salvation is absolutely free. Dave Anderson graduated from Rice University in 1967.
