Did Christ atone for the sins of humanity on the cross? Does God desire all people to be saved and direct his grace toward all people for that purpose? There are some Christians following a deterministic paradigm who believe this is not true. They believe God has predestined some people for heaven and many, or even most, for hell. The rising tide of Calvinism and its "TULIP" theology needs to be respectfully answered. Grace for All: The Arminian Dynamics of Salvation features a distinguished international panel of scholars to examine this controversy. These writers address issues such as election, free will, grace, and assurance. They make compelling scriptural arguments for the universality of God's grace, contending that Christ atoned for the sins of all people and that God sincerely offers forgiveness for all through Christ. This book strives to uncover the biblical position on salvation. We hope the reader will enjoy this stimulating series of articles on the Arminian perspective and that it will spur further writing and discussion. Grace for All: The Arminian Dynamics of Salvation is an updated and revised version of Grace Unlimited, a 1975 collection of scholarly articles assembled by the late Clark H. Pinnock of McMaster Divinity College.

Review "I cannot think of a more dangerous unbiblical teaching than Calvinism! I recommend this book highly. . . . I am so very glad Grace for All is back [as a new version of Grace Unlimited] and available to a new generation! It is a monumental work and has never been answered. The reader should buy one for himself/herself and buy one for each Presbyterian/Reformed minister in town and give it to him/her as a gift! To God be the Glory!" --Terry L. Miethe, PhD, former Dean of the Oxford Study Centre, Oxford, England

Wagner's update, "Grace for All: The Arminian Dynamics of Salvation," is a much-needed reboot of the late Dr. Clark H. Pinnock's edited volume, "Grace Unlimited." If anyone asks me in the future for a relatively concise overall theological perspective from a classical Arminian viewpoint, I will be recommending this book above the rest."Grace for All" addresses not only the hot-button issues debated between Calvinists and Arminians today, such as Arminianism being a God-centered and not a man-centered theology, as well as the dynamics of God's universal grace via the means of the gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit; but it is also exegetical in nature, presenting chapters such as Glen Shellrude's "Calvinism and Problematic Readings of New Testament Texts," David A. Clines' "Predestination in the Old Testament," I. Howard Marshall's "Predestination in the New Testament," and Grant Osborne's twin chapters, "Exegetical Notes on Calvinist Texts," and "Soteriology, Perseverance and Apostasy in the Epistle to the Hebrews."The book is also historical in nature, giving the reader a church-historical view of Arminius' Reformed context, in J. Matthew Pinson's "Jacobus Arminius: Reformed and Always Reforming," Vic Reasoner's "John Wesley's Doctrines on the Theology of Grace," and Steve Witzki's well documented "Saving Faith: The Act of a Moment or the Attitude of a Life?" The controversial issues regarding salvation and God's sovereignty are not recent, but have been present in the church for centuries.Be careful, however, not to overlook the Foreword to the book, for therein is laid the foundation not only for the entire work, but also for the historical framework giving rise to the Reformed debate that has been raging for the last four centuries between Calvinists and Arminians -- or those who are classified as "non-Calvinists." The Foreword is as significant to the rest of the chapters as are the chapters themselves.

All the issues in the Calvinism vs. Arminianism debate are covered and the authors overwhelmingly prove that God's grace is for all, that Christ died for all people and desires all people to be saved, that election is conditional and that it is possible to forfeit one's salvation. I especially enjoyed Glen Shellrude's article "Calvinism and Problematic Readings of New Testament Texts or, Why I am Not a Calvinist" and Steve Witzki's "Saving Faith: The Act of a Moment or the Attitude of a Life?"In short, this is the best, most complete book out there defending Arminianism and refuting Calvinism. And by the way, the book has 328 pages, not 352.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Another hit by John Wagner By Godismyjudge John D. Wagner assembled inputs from a wide ranges of authors to put together Grace for All: The Arminian Dynamics of Salvation. The book starts off with Rodger Olson defending Arminianism from the charge of being “man-centered”. Olson notes that Richard Watson affirmed God could have prevented the fall and that James Arminius only affirmed free will to defend God's righteousness. Olson says that the doctrine of divine concurrence with secondary causes is the primary way of defending God's sovereignty in Arminianism.The book moves on to Vernon Grounds, whose mystical style is not my cup of tea. He focuses on the personal nature of grace.Next comes Glen Shellrude. He makes Calvinists pay full price for determinism by surveying a variety of biblical texts through the lens of determinism. Shellrude doesn't take on compatibilism directly; he just focuses on the awkward results of determinism. He ends by saying atheism makes more sense than Calvinism.Robert Picirilli discusses the atonement and argues for both penal substitution and that Christ died for everyone. He points out that if ‘world’ means ‘the elect everywhere’ in 1 John 2:2, it's the only such usage out of 22 cases in 1 John. He explains passages about the efficiency of the atonement as either talking about the application of Christ’s blood to the individual, which is certainly effectual, or the passages are talking about possibility of salvation as the act itself (i.e. the doctor’s diagnosis saved my life).Jack Cottrell talks about conditional election. Cottrell summarizes the different biblical uses of election and then discusses election to salvation. He argues against a purely corporate view of election and instead defends individual election based on foreknowledge. He then covers God's sovereignty, man's responsibility, foreknowledge and total depravity. He integrates these topics with conditional election based on foreknowledge.William MacDonald and John Wagner wrote a chapter called the Spirit of Grace. They emphasized the personal nature of the Holy Spirit. I would have skipped calling man sovereign and a creator. They had a good treatment of five passages on the question of whether scripture teaches faith is a gift.David Clines writes about predestination in the Old Testament. Cline equates predestination with God's plan or design, so he finds predestination in the OT even when the word is not used. He gives a brief survey of God's plan in the OT and digs into some interesting details in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. He finds God's plan in responding to sin in primeval history, promising in patriarchal history, rewarding/punishing in wisdom literature, and choosing/planning in the Prophets.I. Howard Marshall covers predestination in the New Testament. Marshall starts with a helpful survey of the biblical terms and usage of the Greek words for predestination, planning and will of God in the New Testament. He then covers the range of meanings for the human wills and choices. He then assesses Cavinism's view of God as an author or playwright and discusses some problems.Matthew Pinson gives a brief account of James Arminus' life. He makes Bangs’ point that there were proto-Arminians in the reformed church. He makes the point that James Arminius held to total depravity and original sin (in the sense that we are condemned in Adam). Pinson glosses the disagreement between Arminius and his opponents on the merciful imputation of Christ's righteousness and he strawmans Molinism to put distance between James Arminius and Louis De Molina.Vic Reasoner gives a helpful summary of John Wesley's doctrine. He show Wesley is neither Pelagian nor semi-Pelagian and he attributes much to God's grace because he viewed the effects of the fall as utterly debilitating. Wesley taught perfection as a type of progressive maturity of character and cleansing of our lives from willful sins by God's grace and through faith alone. He denied unconditional election because Christ died for all and because it implies reprobation.Grant Osborne's chapter is 100% exegetical and quite good. He covers lots of NT Calvinist proof texts NT author by NT author. He admits difficulties where he sees them and tries to look at the overall message of each author.James D. Strauss and John Wagner provide an excellent exegesis of Romans 9, showing the passage to be about God's plan to save by grace through faith rather than unconditional individual election. They address many arguments Calvinists bring up from the text and they go through the OT texts Paul quotes from.Steve Witzki obliterates the view that people can stop believing and still go to heaven. He argues for the continual sense of believing in John, especially from the symmetry from John 3:36. He addresses Charles Stanley's argument that a continual verb sometimes do not signify continual action.Grant R. Osborne finishes the book beautifully by commenting on Hebrews and apostasy. While he only touches on alternative views, he provides an excellent study of the theme of apostasy in the book and shows the interplay between John, Hebrews and the rest of the NT.My favorites in the book were Shellrude, Piricilli, Osborne and Strauss/Wagner.
