No one word in all the Bible more fully describes God's plans and purposes than "grace," and no one work more fully expounds the multi-faceted nature of God's grace than Lewis Sperry Chafer's Grace. Emphasizing the dispensational distinctions between law and grace, Chafer deals systematically and thoroughly with the relevant biblical doctrines on the topic of grace. The text is extensively indexed by subject and Scripture reference, making it a handy reference tool for Bible study. Lewis Sperry Chafer (1871–1952), American Presbyterian clergyman and educator, was born in Rock Creek, Ohio; studied at New Lyme Academy and Oberlin Conservatory and College, both in Ohio; studied under C. I. Scoffield; and was ordained in 1900. In 1924, he founded the Evangelical Theological College (now Dallas Theological Seminary) and was its president and professor of systematic theology until his death. His many other works include Satan, True Evangelism, Grace, Major Bible Themes, and the eight-volume Systematic Theology.
