Scandalous Grace: A Book for Tired Christians Seeking Rest
Ebook
Unleash the power of God’s grace as you journey through the Old Testament. Prepare to be challenged and transformed as you explore the stories and testimonies of the Bible, where grace refuses to be tamed.
Grace is a dangerous topic. We want to domesticate it, calm it down, and stuff it into a blue blazer and a pair of khakis. But biblical grace—or charis—doesn’t like to settle down. Grace is a dangerous topic because the Bible is a dangerous book.
Scandalous Grace offers:
- Biblically rich viewpoints that challenge conventional interpretations;
- An exploration of grace in the Old Testament instead of a focus on judgment;
- Theological perspective that showcases a benevolent God who consistently extends redemption to those seen as irredeemable.
Whether you're a seasoned theologian or seeking Christian spiritual growth, Scandalous Grace promises an intellectual and spiritual journey that will expand your understanding of a God whose grace knows no boundaries.
