As a crucial part of the gospel message, the concept of grace is inherent in every Christian’s belief system, although different schools of thought and denominations have emphasized different aspects of grace over the centuries. When you hear “grace,” you may think of the sacraments, electionism, predestination, free will, salvation through grace alone, grace in the spiritual gifts, or the process of forgiveness itself, depending on your background.

Join ISOW instructor Matthew Foley as he delves deeply into grace as it relates to human nature, the church fathers, the Protestant Reformation, and God’s presence in the world today. For any serious Bible student, this is a vital topic and a thoughtful conversation you cannot miss.
