Evolving Grace: The Spiritual History of a Christian Doctrine seeks to bring out the personal living significance and transformative power of the Christian faith throughout the ages. This book spans from Patristic foundations, through the elaborated systematic constructions of the Middle Ages, to the profound transformation induced by the Protestant Reformation and Roman Catholic responses to it, to twentieth century de- and reconstructions. This theological history, grounded in and reflective of the spiritual experience and development of real Christians in and from the past, contributes to the production and nurturing of a living theology in and for the present.
