Publisher's Summary

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Grace Alone: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Historians and theologians have long recognized that at the heart of the 16th-century Protestant Reformation were five declarations, often referred to as the "solas": sola scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, and soli Deo gloria. These five statements summarize much of what the Reformation was about, and they distinguish Protestantism from other expressions of the Christian faith. Protestants place ultimate and final authority in the Scriptures, acknowledge the work of Christ alone as sufficient for redemption, recognize that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, and seek to do all things for God’s glory.

In Grace Alone: Audio Lectures, together with accompanying book, Grace Alone, scholar Carl Trueman looks at the historical and biblical roots of the doctrine that salvation is by grace alone, a free gift unmerited by human effort or works. Lessons examine the development of this theme in the early church through the Reformation to the Protestant confessions that still shape the church in the present day. Trueman also explores the biblical means of receiving God’s grace through the fellowship of believers, the sacraments, and through the Word of God, and considers how we need to recover this doctrine in the face of today’s challenges.

Grace as reality

Excellent lectures by Trueman. He demonstrates that Grace is more than a sentiment. It is a reality that is grounded in the person and work of Jesus Christ who has entered into this world. An essential and timeless message.

Good Thoughts

Not a fan of John Calvin or Augustine. I would rather follow Jesus than Calvin.

Grace: God’s free choice to resurrect people from death to life

A great series of lectures based on Trueman’s book. Pleasantly surprised to find Trueman delivering, which made for a much easier audiobook experience, too!

Trueman looks at the OT and NT, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther and Calvin to build a biblical-historical understanding of God’s grace.

He then offers some practical implications for how we understand church, the sacraments and prayer.

At its core, a wonderfully down to earth and accessible meditation on God’s graciousness. May He use it to reveal his grace to many, and revitalise those who may have forgotten!
