Grace Unlimited

GRACE UNLIMITED reflects the works of various Arminian theologians on the subject of limited atonement (election) versus unlimited atonement (whosoever will). The book is an attempt to give a scholarly view on these subjects. As with many Arminian books on Calvinism, the book addresses other issues of Calvinism such as its history and other matters of doctrine including eternal security (or perseverance of the saints). I do not agree with the last reviewer that this book does not represent a scholarly work. Although its language is not as technical as Gordon Clark's or other Reformed theologians works on election, the book is a good add to the theological debate. Further, this edited work by Clark Pinnock represents his "pre-Open theory" days and does not represent his views today. That is important because many Reformed theologians would simply ignore GRACE UNLIMITED simply because of Pinnock's name.I would urge both sides to read this book and allow grace, truth, and love guide the true disciples of Christ over issues that sometimes can be quite confusing such as the extent of the atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is a good book. Clark Pinnock has changed his views dramatically since editiing this book. I believe the 'openess' view of God is completely wrong headed BUT this book has none of that. The one reviewer who gave the book a bad review obviously has not read it. This book espouses God's Sovereignty and His Grace in salvation. If you are struggling with the free will - Calvinist issue this is a good book to read.

This is an excellent book with 13 articles by a number of Arminian theologians providing strong refutations to the draconian determinism of five-point Calvinism. Election, the atonement, free will, and other issues are covered very well. "Grace Unlimited" is a precursor to the later work, "The Grace of God and the Will of Man," also edited by Clark Pinnock. Though GU is a shorter book, it is in one way better--it has minimal material on the "free will theism" point of view. Overall, this work is highly recommended.
