Product Description

▼▲

A brief, accessible inquiry into the wideness of God’s mercy in Reformed theology

How broad is the scope of salvation? To explore this question, Richard J. Mouw draws on Scripture and a rich heritage of Calvinist theology. Mouw brings voices like the old Princeton theologians, Kuyper, and Bavinck into conversation with more recent voices such as David Engelsma on pertinent topics, including:

The salvation of unbaptized infants
God’s wrath and love for sinners
Problems with universalism
The number of the elect

Learned yet approachable, Mouw explains how Christians can affirm God’s justice while holding hope for the wideness of his saving mercy. Congregations today face pressing questions about how to reconcile orthodoxy with empathy in increasingly pluralist neighborhoods and communities. For Reformed pastors, students, and interested laypeople, Divine Generosity serves as a biblically based, doctrinally sound guide.

Editorial Reviews

Calvin Theological Journal
"In Divine Generosity, Richard Mouw has given us a timely, thought-provoking, and potentially unsettling book."

"Will there be few who are saved? Richard Mouw opens the reader’s eyes to a Calvinism guided by a spirit of generosity. Or more precisely, to a God whose sovereignty and electing grace consist in a breathtaking salvific generosity."
—Cornelis van der Kooi, distinguished lecturer at Erasmus University, Rotterdam

"Here, as always, Mouw is thoughtful, gracious, and genuinely illuminating. He writes with an appealing reverence for God and respect for humanity. Warmly recommended!"
—Cornelius Plantinga, senior research fellow in the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship

"Who shall be saved? How wide is the scope of God’s salvation? One of the world’s leading voices in Reformed philosophy, ethics, and public theology tackles a complex, urgent, and deeply personal question. With his unique combination of academic rigor and pastoral care, Richard Mouw invites readers to join him as he explores the surprising riches (and mysteries) of divine generosity in Reformed theology."
—Matthew Kaemingk, Fuller Seminary
