Doctrines of Grace

June 18, 2009

Many thanks to my friend Bill for the ideal image for this series of posts!

After Tom suggested in the previous comments that I was leaning toward Calvinism (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I looked up the five “doctrines of grace.”

  • Total Depravity
  • Unconditional Election
  • Limited Atonement
  • Irresistible Grace
  • Perseverance of the Saints

I am leaving town for the weekend, and don’t have time to flesh these out now, but in comparison to TULIP, my five doctrines of “grace” are…

  • Broken Eikons
  • Eternal Purpose
  • Extravagant Atonement
  • Response to Grace
  • Shalom

Discuss amongst yourselves if you would like, and maybe we can talk more about each of these next week.
