Our study continues to progress. In March we will be seeking to explore the dynamic interplay between the doctrine of the Fall and the doctrine of Common Grace. If you are doing the reading and participating in the study, then here is what to plan for:
Common Grace & The Fall
Focus: The theological implications of the Fall and how Common Grace preserves the created order despite human sin.
Primary Text: Common Grace: God’s Gifts for a Fallen World (vol. 2) by Abraham Kuyper
Secondary Text: The City of God (books 14-15) by Augustine
Theological Article: “Common Grace and the Antithesis” by Louis Berkhof
Reflection Question: In what ways does Common Grace mitigate the effects of the Fall? What arguments do both Kuyper and Augustine make regarding the mitigating effect of Common Grace?
