The Grace of Repentance (Redesign)

by Sinclair B. Ferguson

Book Overview

"When our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, said 'Repent, ' he meant that the entire life of believers should be one of repentance." -- Martin Luther, 1517

Is that how we think about repentance? Or do we instead think of it as something we are glad to have behind us, never to be repeated? In today's churches, you may find it assumed that such repentance is unnecessary for sanctification or that we can even become Christians without first repenting.

Doctrine of Repentance

An excellent work on the doctrine of repentance. I have seen very little in print regarding the doctrine of repentance which I find to be rather odd with the plethora of books available in theology--perhaps because it is such a convicting topic. I find that the evangelical church is weak in this area as well as in the doctrine of sin. Though relatively brief Dr. Ferguson hits the nail right on the head and gets straight to the point in a very readable book. He weaves this important doctrine into the overall doctrine of God's grace.

A Brief Book With a Powerful Punch!

In a mere 48 pages, Ferguson takes a topic that is scarcely written about and reveals what is at the heart of repentance. Drawing upon Luther's 1st of 95 Theses, he maintains that Christianity does not just begin with an act of repentance, but is marked by an entire life of repentance. In addition to helpful bibilical analysis, he offers a warning to the contemporary church against lapsing into Medieval religious practices. All in all, a clear and warm balance of truth and grace!
