Catalyst: "Grace in Practice: A Theology of Everyday Life" from Wm B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., by Paul F. M. Zahl, 267 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $18
[Source: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.] Grace in Practice is a challenging call to live life under grace -- a concept most Christians secretly have trouble with. Paul Zahl pulls no punches, contending that no matter how often we talk about salvation by grace, in our "can-do" society we often cling instead to a righteousness of works. Asserting throughout that grace always trumps both law and church, Zahl illuminates an expansive view of grace in everything, extending the good news of grace to all creation. Conversationally written and filled with fascinating insights, Grace in Practice will reward any Christian who seeks to understand the full measure of God's grace and the total freedom it offers.
Paul F. M. Zahl is dean and president of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry, Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books, including The First Christian: Universal Truth in the Teachings of Jesus and A Short Systematic Theology.
