Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace
by Miroslav Volf
Zondervan
256 pp.; $12.99

"Miroslav Volf, the leading Protestant theologian of his generation, has written a book that might serve as a model for how to do "public theology"—a book that can be read with profit by any thoughtful Christian. Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace is a sustained examination of the scandalous truth at the heart of the gospel: "God's forgiveness is indiscriminate." We've become dulled to this truth, Volf observes. We need to recover it again and again. ..."
This sounds like an interesting book. A little grace can go a long way toward ameliorating the tensions and conflicts in the PC(USA) part of the Body of Christ.

I linked the book title above to its amazon.com listing.
