Though almost all branches of Christianity would claim to sail through the portals of heaven on a ship named GRACE, there is wide divergence of opinion on just what that means. One’s understanding of justification, regeneration, sanctification, repentance, faith, and other subjects further refine the meaning of GRACE held by different factions within Christianity. This text book presents GRACE as absolutely free, not in the sense of being cheap or easy, but in the sense of a free gift (Eph 2:9) with no strings attached on either the front end or the back end of receiving this gift. The a

Leo the Great was the beneficiary of the consolidation of the power of the papacy in Rome and the Christianization of the city over the course of the preceding century. In this carefully nuanced study, Bernard Green demonstrates the influences at work on this celebrated pope’s development as a theological thinker, including two of the most renowned theological names of the period, Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo. Green charts Leo’s theological journey from his first encounters with the Pelagian and Nestorian controversies, where he engaged Cassian as an advisor. Leo took a

After discussing the "arts of redemption" and their rivals, and introducing soteriology, the theology of salvation, Patrick Sherry argues that the Christian "Drama of Redemption" has three Acts. The next five chapters discuss the three Acts, namely salvation history, our present human life, and the life to come. In each case, Sherry explains how art and literature can lead to an understanding of what is at stake here. His main concern is with the present life: hence three of those chapters deal with that phase of redemption, one of them specifically with "novels of redemption". The last substa

If Buddhism denies a permanent self, how does it perceive identity? According to Buddhist texts, the entire universe, including the individual, is made up of different phenomena, which Buddhism classifies into different categories: what we conventionally call a “person” can be understood in terms of five aggregates, the sum of which must not be taken for a permanent entity, since beings are nothing but an amalgam of ever-changing phenomena. Although the aggregates are only a “convenient fiction,” the Buddha nevertheless made frequent use of the aggregate scheme when asked to explain t

This volume examines the role of divine grace in the non-dualist soteriology of Samkara. The author argues that grace is an essential but generally overlooked feature in Samkara’s enlightenment spirituality. Introductory chapters summarize recent developments in Samkara research, Samkara’s epistemology and ontology, ancient Vedantic teachings on grace, and modern scholarly disagreement about grace in Samkara’s Advaita system. The heart of the book consists of two lengthy exegetical chapters examining Samkara’s key passages on grace from his dozen genuine works. The fina
