Overview

Understand the Bible's teaching on law and grace.

Law and Grace explores a misunderstood theological subject from several perspectives. After discussing Roman Catholic and Reformed views of law, gospel, and grace, the book uses an exposition of Romans to present a dispensational framework for distinguishing key theological concepts.

Pastors, church leaders, and ministry students will appreciate Myron Houghton's thorough exegesis and practical applications, including practical advice on tithing, Sabbath keeping, and the believer's responsibility to follow grace principles for godly living.

Key Features

• Bases much of the analysis of its theological positions directly on primary sources such as official church documents, catechisms, and creeds
