"The book is controversial. It was controversial when it was written. It is still controversial in Reformed churches..."
Originally published in Dutch (De Gemeene Gratis) at the end of the nineteenth century, Particular Grace's explanation and development of the gospel of salvation by the grace of God in Jesus Christ was controversial then and continues to be so today. But by no means is the book controversy alone. Within is the lively, warm writing of a Reformed theologian who influenced much of the Reformed church world in his time. Kuyper is fresh. Kuyper is fervent. Kuyper storms the heart of the believer.
What others are saying about the book:
"The Reformed Free Publishing Association has accomplished a breakthrough. For the first time, with the possible exception of Kuyper's work on the Holy Spirit, the Kuyper of sound Reformed doctrine and church reformation is presented to the English reading public...The book is biblical, deliberately and pervasively so...Reformed believers will surely be impressed with the power of the author's language and argument, the breadth of this acquaintance with past and contemporary discussion, and the cumulative weight of his case. They will also find Kuyper surprisingly fresh and pointed. Many contemporary denials of particular grace are anticipated by his arguments." —Mid-America Journal of Theology
"All in all, these forty short chapters—none is longer than ten pages, most are shorter—should help clear our minds again so that we return to a Biblical view of grace. This is as sorely needed today as it was in Kuyper’s day. Will the reader agree with every idea Kuyper writes? Probably not. Only God’s Word is to be agreed with in toto. However, Kuyper is attempting here to open up for his readers the wonderful truth of Scripture...A word must be said about the appearance of the volume. It is clearly printed on nice stock. The binding is handsome. Take it up and read it, and your heart will be blessed." - Jerome Julien (The Outlook)
