What the Shocking Beliefs of the Great Christians Can Teach Us Today

Synopsis

The church is tired of seeing Christians act ungraciously toward one another when they disagree. Social media has added to the carnage. Christians routinely block each other on Facebook because of doctrinal disagreements. The world watches the blood-letting, and the Christian witness is tarnished. But what if every Christian discovered that their favorite teacher in church history had blind spots and held to some false--and even shocking--views? Bestselling author Frank Viola argues that this simple awareness will soften Christians when they interact with each other in the face of theological disagreements. In ReGrace, he uncovers some of the shocking beliefs held by faith giants like C.S. Lewis, Luther, Calvin, Moody, Spurgeon, Wesley, Graham, and Augustine--not to downgrade or dismiss them, but to show that even "the greats" in church history didn't get everything right. Knowing that the heroes of our faith sometimes got it wrong will empower us to treat our fellow Christians with grace rather than disdain whenever we disagree over theology.

Goodreads review by Frank on April 26, 2019

This is a good and useful book to be read by anyone, myself included. While I don’t particularly like the authors blog style of writing, it was done on purpose perhaps to reach a larger selection of people. For this reason, I can be supportive. The book is in two sections. The first section is a lis......more

Goodreads review by Marc on March 13, 2019

Think the most important thing about Christians is that we all agree theologically? Think again. In this quick and accessible book, Viola gives us something noteworthy and needed—a moment to pause and consider that we might be wrong, and what that means for how we treat other people, based on their b......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on April 14, 2021

I may have decided to pick this one up just because I wanted to read up on the subversive views of Lewis but this book offers much more than the simple satisfaction of my curiosity. This book is a book of common sense. The common sense among Christians to be gracious towards one another despite theo......more

Section 1 features well-known Christians and some of the surprising and even unbiblical beliefs they held. Section 2 focuses on maintaining unity in the church and avo......more
