Having sat under the preaching and teaching ministry of Steve Lawson in my younger years, and now continuing to be blessed by his writings, I wholeheartedly, and highly recommend that you run, not walk, to get this latest installment of his wonderful series, A Long Line of Godly Men. – Joel Taylor
The doctrines of grace are often known as the five points of Calvinism, but they were not the invention of John Calvin or his reforming cohorts of the sixteenth century. Rather, they are biblical doctrines, as Dr. Steven J. Lawson demonstrated in his book Foundations of Grace (2006). Now, in Pillars of Grace, Dr. Lawson shows that the doctrines of grace have been understood and taught—sometimes in embryonic form, sometimes with great clarity—throughout church history. From the time of the early church fathers to the years of the Reformers, there have been key men in the church, pillars as it were, who stood on the foundation of Scripture and upheld the truth of God’s sovereign role in salvation.
In Pillars of Grace, Dr. Lawson walks readers through the ups and downs of church history, profiling these voices for the truth. The inescapable conclusion is that the doctrines of grace are no innovation, but the consistent witness of some of the greatest men of the church.

Good post but I have a question: Isn’t Steve Lawson a progressive dispensationalist?
I don’t know Anna. I don’t think so, but, I’ve been known, on occasion mind you, to be wrong. Regardless, I love the man for his zeal for the glory of God and the doctrines of grace.
He is good; just wondering. Thank you.
I’ve read (a couple of times) this book on the doctrines of grace, by Boice & Ryken: http://www.amazon.com/Doctrines-Grace-Rediscovering-Evangelical-Gospel/dp/1433511282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308771748&sr=1-1 It is MOST excellent – even showing a honest, inquiring Episcopalian the error of his church.
Brother Joel, to relieve the stress you may undergo in pondering what to send me for my upcoming birthday, Dr. Lawson’s “Pillars” will do quite nicely. Just looking out for you peace of mind, Brother…
Your unselfish concern for my well-being warms my heart.
