It saved my life during my early twenties, re- stored my marriage in my middle twenties, then created in me a father loved by my children. Grace remade my ministry and made possible my contact with sufferers as well as with prodigals. The message of grace has also proven to be provocative, especially in relation to other Christians. Sometimes I have been accused of being “long on grace but short on law.” In other words, some have feared that my emphasis on grace is tantamount to blessing sin. The traditional word for this accusation is “antinomianism,” or a teaching that is con- trary to the law. Christians who stress grace — unmerited acceptance — are often accused of being “antinomian.” It is almost a sure sign that you are preaching grace when people call you an antinomian. This book is my attempt, after thirty years of teaching and preaching the message of grace, to set it out systematically, and to do this in the face of the chronic criticism grace receives. I also attempt to connect grace to some contemporary issues in world society. How does grace work? That is the theme of this book. No apologies! One-way love is the heart of Christianity. It is what makes Christianity Christian. I hope that what you are about to read rep- resents the vox ipsissima Christianismi, the true voice of the Christian reli- gion, written without compromise or a form of words. ix EERDMANS -- Grace in Practice (Zahl) final text Tuesday, November 28, 2006 5:33:29 PM 9 Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite 140 lpi at 45 degrees PREFACE Certain teachers have helped me understand grace conceptually. Certain others have helped me understand grace pastorally. The man who first taught me the meaning of grace was FitzSimons Allison, dur- ing his memorable classes of the late 1970s at Grace Church in New York City. My wife and I learned the gospel of grace from Fitz Allison. We learned that grace alone achieves what the law demands and that this is true in life as well as in theology. Later, Frank Lake, who died in 1982, helped me understand grace in relation to my own concrete sorrows and sins. Ernst Käsemann, from whom I had the chance to learn personally in the early 1990s, deepened my understanding of grace within the aca- demic field of New Testament theology. Jürgen Moltmann, my “doctor father” at Tübingen from 1991 to 1994, made sure that I struggled with the political and economic implications of grace. My wife, Mary,who was herself helped by Canon Anne Long’s views on Christian listening within the Church of England, has been the ear of grace to me for thirty-two years. Our sons, John, David, and Simeon, all of whom now serve in Christian ministry,have each deepened my experi- ence and my theology in relation to grace. They were my students but are now my teachers. Three other less longstanding influences have affected this book. One is my life among the Loyalist Protestants of Northern Ireland. These are an often misunderstood if not actually mistreated people. In particular, the “Sons of William” of Maghera, South Londonderry, have given me concrete lessons in what it costs to exercise grace in relation to others with whom you deeply disagree and who dislike you. A second in- fluence is the plays of Tyler Perry, the African American writer, which have opened up for me deep wells of grace in relation to the hurts of life as experienced, in deeply Christian ways, in Perry’s community. Third, the thwarted genius of Robert George “Joe” Meek, the English indepen- dent record producer who died in February 1967, functions as a vivid and living reproach to me of what can happen when grace is not offered to a sufferer. I wish I had been there to comfort Joe. Four of my students at Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry have been fruitful partners in conversation about the relation of Christ’s grace x EERDMANS -- Grace in Practice (Zahl) final text Tuesday, November 28, 2006 5:33:29 PM 10 Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite 140 lpi at 45 degrees Preface to God’s law. They are Jady Koch, Nick Lannon, Kate Norris, and Jacob Smith. Simeon Zahl, doctoral candidate in systematic theology at Cam- bridge University; Burke Hilsabeck, doctoral candidate in English at the University of Chicago; and Dr. Dorothy Martyn, of Bethany, Connecti- cut, have aided me in the final editing of the manuscript. My assistant at Trinity School, Mrs. Maxine Moore, has helped me invaluably, and sacri- ficially, in the preparation of this book. To all of these, and most of all to Mary, my wife, I say, thank you.

In life there are two governing principles that are at war with one other. The first is law; the second is grace. So powerful are these two principles, so virile and unquenchable, so captivating and irresistible, that all rela- tionships, all human operations, simply lie down before them. The law crushes the human spirit; grace lifts it. The story of the Bible is the story of this perpetual war between law and grace. Law comes in, as the apostle Paul puts it (Romans 7:21-23), and human beings become excited by it. They become excited to resist it. The law, which is any form of external command, provokes the opposite reac- tion from the one it is intended to provoke. Instead of inciting obedience or submission, it incites rebellion. It provokes revolutionary resentment. The Bible is the chronicle of God’s law in virulent antipathy with hu- man nature, and human nature in virulent antipathy to God’s law: con- flict, in other words.

  • Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia
    Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia BY George W Yarbrough, D.D. Superannuate Member or the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South Edited by H. M. DU BOSE, D.D. BOOK EDITOR METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH NASHVILLE, TENN. DALLAS, TEX.J RICHMOND, VA. PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH SMITH & LAMAR, AGENTS 1917 EDITOR'S NOTE Biography is the soul of history; without it the annals of no nation would possess relevancy or carry a teaching force. The present volume belongs to the class of biography, but it is biography of a unique character; it is doubtful if it has a parallel in our literature. During the latter years of a min- isterial career of more than half a century, Dr. George W Yarbrough, one of the veteran itinerants of the North Georgia Annual Conference, has been associating his maturest thoughts on all great subjects and the results of his happiest medita- tions with a record of the passing incidents and reminiscences of his life. These records have taken shape in a series of newspaper articles which, from the printing of the first, many years ago, attracted general attention in the Church and have been repeatedly called for in the permanent form of a book. To these reminiscential writings have been added several dis- courses and addresses which, for the most part, are carried along with the same historical and reminiscential current. Also there have been added some personal sketches and stories which give to the volume a delightful flavor of quaintness and indigenous humor.
