Widely known evangelical leader Richard J. Mouw has recently renewed the case for a common grace of God. In his book, He Shines in All That's Fair: Culture and Common Grace, Dr. Mouw recommends to all Christians the theory of common grace developed by Dutch Reformed theologian Abraham Kuyper. Common grace, Mouw contends, is essential for Christian life in society, especially the Christian's cooperation with non-Christians in forming good, godly culture. This book is a response to Mouw's apology for common grace. It considers Mouw's arguments for common grace, examines Kuyperian (and now Mouwian) common grace in the light of Scripture and Reformed confessions, and proposes an alternative to common grace as the basis and motive of the Christian in society.
