From TULIP to ROSES: An Invitation to Complete the Reformation's Bloom

The Reformation recovered grace: Now it's time to recover love.
The Reformation recovered our reliance upon God’s grace--now we must realize the depth of His love. In this scholarly yet pastoral work, Dr. Kerr traces the roots of Augustinian-Calvinism and calls readers back to the early Christian vision of a God who created for love not glory, who “desires all people to be saved” (I Tim. 2:4), and who even allows human rejection.
With clarity and conviction, From TULIP to ROSES explores creation, history, Scripture, and reason, showing how to rethink the interplay of human and divine will. Respecting Scripture’s authority and honoring the Reformers’ passion for grace, Kerr dissects each petal of TULIP, revealing God’s plan to offer salvation to all, to include those who didn’t hear the gospel while on earth.
Here theology is replanted in the living soil of divine relationship: God’s grace invites and empowers, human freedom responds, and the fullness of love can blossom.
