This is the seventh lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey’s Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Is there any shared ground between believers and unbelievers? In this lesson, we explore the doctrine of common grace—the means by which God, in his goodness, temporarily restrains judgment and bestows non-saving blessings even on those who remain in rebellion against him. You will discover how this temporary, non-saving grace provides space for meaningful interaction, cultural engagement, and the proclamation of the gospel. Drawing from biblical and theological insights, including historical reflections from Calvin, Warfield, Kuyper, and Van Til, we examine how common grace enables communication without compromising the antithesis. Learn how to faithfully build bridges without erasing the gospel’s call to repentance and faith.

  • 01:53 The Nature and Scope of Common Grace
  • 07:20 Common Grace in Redemptive History
  • 09:51 Biblical Foundations of Common Grace
  • 20:24 Common Grace and Apologetics
  • 27:21 Historical Perspectives on Common Grace
  • 35:57 Withstanding Rejection
  • 39:11 Summary and Conclusion
