Buku Grace Alone – Salvation as a Gift of God ( Carl Trueman, Matthew Barrett)

Historians  and theologians alike have long recognized that at the heart of the  sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation were the five solas: sola scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, and soli Deo gloria. These five solas  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.

Though the context and  circumstances of life, the specific struggles or events throughout the  church’s history may have shifted over the past five hundred years, the  five declarations that distinguished the Protestant Reformation from  other expressions of the Christian faith continue to speak to us today,  addressing a wide range of contemporary issues and serving as our great  inheritance from those believers who have gone before us.

In Grace Alone,  a volume from the Five Solas series, pastor and scholar Carl Trueman  examines the historical and biblical roots of the doctrine of salvation  by grace alone, a free gift unmerited by human efforts or works. Trueman  explores the development of this theme across church history—from the  early church through the Reformation to the Protestant confessions that  still shape the church today. He also looks at the biblical means of  receiving God’s grace, highlighting the urgency in which we need to  recover this doctrine in the face of today’s challenges.
