Ruined sinners to reclaim

This book on total depravity (the second in a series on the Doctrines of Grace) aims by church history and theological precision to ‘enrich our exegesis and rescue us from error’. The example of error in the editors’ introduction is John Stevens’s book on temptation. They state that Stevens ‘presents a Roman Catholic position on unbidden and unwanted desires’ and ‘ends up implying that there are parts of our fallen human natures that God’s grace does not need to redeem’.
