Whatever Happened to the Gospel of Grace?

Combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation.Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success-big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches-these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called &quote;believers&quote; from their non-Christian neighbors-all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.In this work, the late James Montgomery Boice identifies what's happened within evangelicalism and suggests how the confessional statements of the Reformation-scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and glory to God alone-can ignite full-scale revival. &quote;A church without these convictions has ceased to be a true church, whatever else it may be,&quote; he wrote, but &quote;if we hold to these doctrines, our churches and those we influence will grow strong.&quote;
