If God wants us to be saved, why is grace so confusing?

November 4, 2017 by Randal

It’s a daunting question. If God wants all human beings to be saved — and surely he does — then why aren’t the requirements of that salvation clearer? This is a central theme woven through my book What’s So Confusing About Grace?,  a theological memoir spanning a forty-year journey trying to understand the nature of God’s […]

My friend didn’t bother to define “hardcore apologetics”, but I […]

Confusing Grace: The Unfundamentalist Christians Review

September 6, 2017 by Randal

Dan Wilkinson at the blog Unfundamentalist Christians just posted a great review of What’s So Confusing About Grace? Here are a couple excerpts: “Equal parts humorous, sobering, and thought-provoking, Rauser explores the big issues of Christianity by honestly recounting the often self-deprecating anecdotes of his youth.” “Rauser readily admits when he doesn’t have the answers, and good-naturedly pokes at […]

September 3, 2017 by Randal

Here’s a fine review of What’s So Confusing About Grace? courtesy of Michael.
