{"product_id":"9780310515760","title":"Grace Alone---Salvation as a Gift of God: What the Reformers Taught...and Why It Still Matters","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistorians and theologians alike have long recognized that at the heart of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation were the five \u003cem\u003esolas\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cem\u003esola scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e soli Deo gloria\u003c\/em\u003e. These five \u003cem\u003esolas\u003c\/em\u003e do not merely summarize what the Reformation was all about but have served to distinguish Protestantism ever since. They set Protestants apart in a unique way as those who 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 not only give God all of the glory but to do all things vocationally for his glory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e2017 will mark the 500\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e anniversary of the Reformation. And yet, even in the twenty-first century we need the Reformation more than ever. As James Montgomery Boice said not long ago, while the Puritans sought to carry on the Reformation, today “we barely have one to carry on, and many have even forgotten what that great spiritual revolution was all about.” Therefore, we “need to go back and start again at the very beginning. We need another Reformation.”[1] In short, it is crucial not only to remember what the \u003cem\u003esolas\u003c\/em\u003e of the Reformation were all about, but also to apply these \u003cem\u003esolas\u003c\/em\u003e in a fresh way in light of many contemporary challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[1]James Montgomery Boice, “Preface,” in \u003cem\u003eHere We Stand: A Call from Confessing Evangelicals \u003c\/em\u003e(Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 1996), 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zondervan Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027237421296,"sku":"9780310515760","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780310515760_p0.jpg?v=1763674508","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780310515760","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
