If a plant grows with shallow roots, the storms of a season will wither away and uproot it; like a house built on sand, a poor foundation will doom its fate. But this isn't a book on botany, nor on architecture; foundations, good roots, are essential to thought structures as well as material structures. In theology, a bad foundation will produce results as catastrophic as bad roots or shifting sand. How we think about God and His work in the world will profoundly affect how we live and work out our Christian faith. This book evolved from the conviction that a prominent theological system rests on a fragile foundation. It is written as a small contribution towards refounding our understanding of God's relationship with the world and our salvation on His Word. The theology in question is Arminianism; the foundation is prevenient grace. Deep within Evangelical Arminianism lies the essential doctrine that God has acted in the life of all human beings, giving them enabling grace enough to respond or reject His offer of salvation. The contention of this book is that this doctrine has no biblical grounds and is rationally unfounded and that Arminianism itself stands or falls on this doctrine.

This study of prevenient grace in the Wesleys opens new ground in understanding the seminal doctrine of prevenient grace in Methodism. He does so by uncovering a diversity of sources used by John Wesley in his exposition of this biblical concept. He also includes an in-depth examination of the complementary role of Charles Wesley's poetical discourse on the theme, which results in a more comprehensive presentation of its form and function in early Methodism. Finally, Crofford demonstrates major ways in which prevenient grace was deployed in the writings of selected Methodist theologians.

"This is the most thorough and missiologically sensitive study of John Wesley's doctrine of prevenient grace to appear thus far . . . unprecedented in its scope." -Howard A. Snyder In this thorough and missiologically sensitive study of John Wesley's doctrine of prevenient grace, Chris Payk explores what John Wesley meant and intended by the term "prevenient grace." Tracing the antecedents and sources of Wesley's teaching on prevenient grace more thoroughly than does any prior work, Payk shows that prevenient grace is not a Wesleyan invention; it has long roots in the history of Christian doctrine. However, he also shows that Wesley added nuances and dimensions that have considerable relevance for the church's life and mission today. Payk then creatively combines his historical-doctrinal analysis with a helpful discussion on how this bears strategically and theologically on the church's mission in the twenty-first century. Payk shows that the doctrine of God's infinite graciousness is not a dusty doctrine from the past but a truth of wide relevance today as the gospel of Jesus Christ confronts a vast and varied scene of global religions and cultures. Here is an affirmation of God's grace that is biblical and evangelical, avoiding human hubris on one side and a narrow theistic determinism on the other. The book further expands our appreciation of the continuing relevance of John Wesley's life, witness, and thought. Christopher Payk is an ordained minister with the Free Methodist Church in Canada. He is currently serving on the pastoral team at Mucha Free Methodist Church in Taipei, Taiwan, where he has lived for the last five years.

Grace. We use the word often. We "say grace" before meals. "There but for the Grace of God go I." But do we know what it is? Do we fully understand the many dimensions of how Grace works? For many, the answer is "not really." Hence, Grace: A Workbook. Dr. Clark brilliantly incorporates the theology of Grace with the psychology of every day experiences, always focusing on the core of the Gospel. Grace: A Workbook is an invaluable tool to help us become the dynamic people that God has planned for us to be. It is a one-of-a-kind workbook written with a deep passion for the excitement of God's love and Grace. At the end, readers will come out with a fresh sense of Grace, as well as a fresh look at themselves and what we can become through the power of Grace. The goals of Grace: A Workbook, - To gain an in-depth understanding of Grace in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand interactive format; This Workbook came about as a result of teaching for a year on Grace in her adult Sunday school class. In preparation, she read many excellent books about Grace. However, she realized that many people, because of their life experiences, may have confusion and/or uncertainty about how to incorporate Grace into their daily lives. Thus, these "lessons" were conceived. Each week in her class, as the lessons challenged the students to comprehend the power of God's love and Grace, they left feeling uplifted and excited to live their lives with a deeper faith and purpose in their Christian walk. Grace: A Workbook is interactive. It can have great benefit for someone to use individually, or, even more so, in a group setting. "Dr. Mary Clark knows from her personal journey, as well as from her vast clinical experience, how damaging it is to live under a veil of shame, law, and fear of punishment. Unfortunately, all too often, that is the crippling message conveyed by the church. Grace-A Workbook is a fragrant and thoroughly practical breath of fresh theological air, reconnecting us to the true heart of our gracious Father and his radically loving Son! Dr. Clark brings us not only the "grace insights" of a veteran Bible student but also compellingly addresses how grace can heal our brokenness, past and present. Thank you, Mary, for lifting up God's spectacular, unbelievable, life-giving unmerited favor!" -J. Kevin Butcher, Pastor, Author, Choose and Choose Again: the Brave Act of Returning to God's Love (Navpress, 2016)

Calvinists have accused Arminians of inventing "prevenient grace" as a way to bolster their view of grace-enabled human responsibility in salvation. If, however, humans are totally depraved, yet God still demands a faith response from each individual (Acts 17:30), then grace-enabled choice is not as farfetched as Calvinism's advocates claim. In this work, Deidre Richardson seeks to demonstrate by way of the study of theological doctrines that prevenient grace enables, rather than coerces, belief. While "prevenient grace" is not an explicit phrase in the Scriptures, it can be inferred based on God's love for the world (universal atonement), infant grace, the existence of Hell, Calvinist and Arminian notions of ordo salutis (order of salvation), as well as the nature of relationship. Arminians who have been anticipating a work that provides biblical evidence for the Arminian notion of prevenient grace now have a work of intense thought to call their own. Deidre Richardson is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (dual B.A., History and Music) and an MDiv graduate of Southeastern Seminary (Master of Divinity, Christian Apologetics). She spent four years in the Seminary's postgraduate program where she pursued a Master of Theology (ThM) degree in Theology of Religions with an emphasis on Inclusivism under the Seminary's Dean of the Faculty and author of "Salvation and Sovereignty: A Molinist Approach," Dr. Kenneth Keathley.Richardson is the author of four books, this one and three others: 1) "Short-Sighted Faith: Once Saved, Always Saved (OSAS) and the Doctrine of Perseverance"; 2) "Doctrinal Deception: Responding to Carlton Pearson's The Gospel of Inclusion"; and 3) "More Doctrinal Deception: Bishop Carlton Pearson's Inclusion, Further Examined". She intends to publish a groundwork theology in 2019.

Prevenient Grace is a trail of stories that recount, from childhood to present day, how God sought my attention time and again through what I call "spiritual breadcrumbs," signs of love and care. I always believed there was a God, but I was unaware of just what that meant. From the ignorance of youth to the family prohibitions against knowing God, I resisted becoming one of "those people," the annoying self-righteous who tout "God's will" at every opportunity. It is my hope that these stories will bring the reader along my trail of faith: from believing in a God to embracing His wholeness and presence in me.

This thesis is an explorative study to compare Augustine and Wesley s concepts of prevenient grace, in order to find out their similarities and differences. The study reveals 16 similarities and 11 differences between Augustine and Wesley s concepts of prevenient grace. From these findings, this thesis further infers that some kinds of relationships exist between Augustine and Wesley s concepts of prevenient grace. Since the similarities outnumber the differences and relationships possibly exist between Augustine and Wesley s concepts of prevenient grace, this thesis further suggests that instead of labelling Wesley s concept of prevenient grace as semi-Pelagian, it is perhaps justifiable to call it semi-Augustinian. Finally, this study invites readers to further examine the suggested possible relationships between Augustine and Wesley s concepts of prevenient grace, to study relationships between their other theological concepts, and even to construct an Augustinian-Wesley legacy.
