"To our mind, either everything or nothing must be held in subjection to the will and providence of God. Even the wickedness of ungodly men is restricted by predestination, so that the wrath of man shall praise God, and the remainder of wrath He will restrain." - GILBERT BEEBE (1800-1881)

"The Resurrection" is very good. I found it helpful.

In terms of understanding modern theology, the three books are indispensable. As many note, Wright should be commended for affirming (and at times, affirming very well) certain Christian truth: mainly, the Resurrection. However, in these three books in particular, his understanding of both the nature and method of theology are so diametrically opposed to Reformed teaching that they can contribute very little positive for us. The groundwork for his theological vision (the *what* and the *how* of theology) is set forth in the first volume, and the practical ramifications of this are most clearly seen in the second volume.

They who perceive in themselves discoveries of the divine goodness, so full and absolutely perfect, and who make them the subject of earnest meditation, will never embrace new doctrines, by which the very grace they feel so powerfully in themselves is thrown into the shade. --John Calvin
