What's So Great about the Doctrines of Grace?

Richard D. Phillips (M. Div., Westminster Theological Seminary; D. Div., Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary) is senior minister of the Second Presbyterian Church in Greenville, S.C., a member of the board and the council of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, a member of the council of the Gospel Coalition, and a member of the board of trustees of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He is the author of more than twenty-five books, including Jesus the Evangelist, The Masculine Mandate, and Hebrews in the Reformed Expository Commentary series, for which he serves as coeditor.

"Rick Phillips has an unbounded love for the doctrines of grace and writes about them with an enviable simplicity and clarity. Here is persuasive exposition of biblical teaching that captures the thrill of knowing a sovereign God. What’s So Great about the Doctrines of Grace? never loses sight of the grace to which these doctrines point. This is a wonderful book to read, study, lend, and give away."

"Richard Phillips has done it again! In summarizing the doctrines of grace in this book, he brings us into the arena of historic Calvinism, which, as C. H. Spurgeon said, "is the Gospel and nothing else." But what we have here is more than just a retelling of the doctrines themselves; it is an account of why these truths matter in the church of the twenty-first century. Its enthusiasm is infectious, its urgency compelling, and its logic irrefutable."
