Edward Oakes, however, argues that all of these distinctions and debates are ultimately motivated by one central question: \u003ci\u003eWhat are God's\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eintentions for the world?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eA Theology of Grace in Six Controversies \u003c\/i\u003eOakes examines issues relating to grace and points them back to that central question, illuminating and explaining what is really at stake in these debates. Maintaining that controversies clarify issues, especially those as convoluted as that of grace, Oakes works through six central debates on the topic, including sin and justification, evolution and original sin, and free will and predestination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward T.
