Amazing Grace!

“Owen Cummings has thought, researched, taught, and lived his theology of the grace of God for decades. Now he has distilled it into a clear yet deep account of grace in Christian theology, viewed through vivid accounts of well-chosen key thinkers and texts. The result is a wise path through a complex topic, never losing sight of the essence of the matter: the utterly gracious, generous, healing, and transforming love of God.”


—David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus, University of Cambridge





“In many previous books, Owen Cummings has shown a knack for making complicated theological matters clear. Here he applies that skill to the theology of grace, taking us to the heart of Christianity: divine gift and human gratitude. He has chosen wisely which windows to look through, allowing the reader to think their own way into the complexity and simplicity of grace.”


—Hugh Feiss, OSB, theologian and medievalist, Ascension Priory





“This book you are holding—what Owen Cummings humbly refers to as a ‘little primer on grace’—is the work of a mature and articulate theologian and a man of prayer. Each and every page of this little primer deepens the radiant mystery calling us under and beyond the seemingly relentless tensions within our churches today. Be kind to your heart; let this book lead you to these healing windows into the infinite hope at the center of God’s word for you.”


—Abbot Peter McCarthy, OCSO, Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey
