PILLARS OF GRACE
A long line of godly men (AD 100-1564)
By Steven Lawson. Reformation Trust. 530 pages. £21.99
ISBN 978 1 567 692 112

This is the second in the excellent series written by Dr. Steven Lawson.

In volume 1, Foundations of Grace, Lawson did a sweep through the pages of Scripture, showing how all the biblical authors delighted in the doctrines of grace and God’s sovereignty in salvation. This second of five planned volumes is no less a tour de force, as you would expect from someone of the authority of Lawson, and picks up from the end of the apostolic period, through to the Reformers of the mid-16th century. History told through biography always makes more impact, I believe, and this book helps prove the case, as far as I am concerned.
