Acting the Miracle.
General Editors J. Piper and D. Mathis
(Crossway, 2013)
This book is a recent contribution to the ongoing battle within evangelical circles concerning the theological concept of progressive sanctification. Hopefully this text will be a helpful addition to avoiding the extreme forms of sanctification that emerged and been propagated within new evangelical churches. (Full review forthcoming)
Please see table of contents below.
Chapter One: Prelude to acting the miracle (J. Piper)
Chapter Two: Incentives for acting the miracle: Fear, Rewards, and the Multiplicity of Biblical Motivations (K. DeYoung)
Chapter Three: Sinners Learning to Act the miracle: Restoring broken people and the limits of life in the body. (E. Welch)
Chapter Four: Acting the miracle in the every day word of God, the means of Grace, and the practical pursuit of gospel maturity (J. Williams)
Chapter Five: Acting the Miracle together: Corporate Dynamics in Christian Sanctification (P. Moore)
Personally I thought the book was a refreshing contribution to the overtly reformed antinomianism which is becoming more and more prevalent in American evangelicalism. I may not agree with the writer's more Reformed Calvinistic views on all the issues but its was still profitable reading.
