A revised and abridged edition of Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism: An Inductive Mediate Theologyof Salvation, in Which theologian/missiologist Olson gives the fruit of a 25-year theological pilgrimage. His inductive focus on Scripture results in a middle view of salvation truth, thus resolving polarized extremes. This edition is much more readable and accessible for most Christians. The exegetical methodology emphasizes context, word studies, and grammar of all relevant passages, with extensive support for eternal security and refutation of deterministic concepts of salvation. In the foreword, Dr. Tim LaHaye refers to the incredible distribution of the academic edition, which sold out in 3 years. A revised academic edition is forthcoming in 2006.
Veteran missionary and missiologist C. Gordon Olson has distilled his knowledge and experience to produce an introductory text to missions that is marked by its balance between theory and practice.
"Calvinists and Arminians are at opposite poles on the question as to how God applies the merits of Christ's saving death to sinners. Few recognize any mediate view between opposite views, with a mainstream of Evangelicals who are not fully committed to either system. Olson seeks a resolution of the conflict by an inductive rather deductive approach to Scripture."--Back cover.
This book presents a unique view of salvation, one which falls in the middle of Calvinism and Arminianism. It deals with the errors found in Calvinism and Arminianism, and resolves polarized views. It provides a theology of assurance and eternal security in Christ, and a simple solution to Hebrews 6. It approaches Scripture with an inductive, bottom-up approach, not deductive. There is given an exegesis of 1000 quoted Scripture passages. The theology of salvation given in this book is gracious and non-legalistic, and is evangelism and missions friendly. --from back of book.

Grenz, Roger Olson tells the full story of modern theology from Descartes to Caputo, from the Kantian revolution to postmodernism, now recast in terms of how theologians have accommodated or rejected modernity.

“Engaging and original, rich in anecdote and analysis, this is a terrific work of history.”—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Lion The acclaimed author of Troublesome Young Men reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how the United States forged its wartime alliance with Britain, told from the perspective of three key American players in London: Edward R.
