Grace Defined and Defended

What a 400-Year-Old Confession Teaches Us about Sin, Salvation, and the Sovereignty of God

Best-selling author Kevin DeYoung equips Christians to clearly define grace by looking at the Canons of Dort, exploring the historical context, theological implications, and practical applications of this important document in the Reformed tradition.

“DeYoung brings an event from four hundred years ago right back into the present needs of the church and of theology.”

—Herman Selderhuis, Professor of Church History, Theological University Apeldoorn; Director, Refo500

Grace Is Too Precious a Doctrine to Settle for Vague Generalities

Grace—a doctrine central to the gospel—ought to be clearly defined so it can be celebrated, relished, and consistently defended.

In this book, Kevin DeYoung leads us back to the Canons of Dort, a seventeenth-century document originally written to precisely and faithfully define this precious doctrine.

The Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to the precise nature of God’s supernatural, sovereign, redeeming, resurrecting grace—when so many people settle for vague generalities that water down the truth.

In three concise sections—covering history, theology, and practical application— DeYoung explores what led to the Canons and why they were needed, the five important doctrines that they explain, and Dort’s place in the Christian faith today.

• Equips Christians to clearly define and defend grace as it is explained in the Bible
• Examines the specific articles, nuances, and controversies of the Canons of Dort
• Serves as a concise primer on Reformed theology
