Chapter 2 of Religion Saves addresses the question of humor. This is a very funny chapter that had me laughing out loud. It is basically a defense of the value of humor and a survey of Biblical humor. Driscoll does a good job of showing that the Bible mainly uses humor to mock people, religions, ideas, idols, and anything else that oppose God. Some things deserve to be mocked! Driscoll ends with 10 "commandments" for sanctifying comedy.
Chapter 3 of Religion Saves addresses the issue of predestination. It is a good and balanced explanation of what the Bible teaches on this subject. Driscoll touches on the order of salvation, total depravity, and answers the most common objections to the Bible's teaching on predestination.
Chapter 4 of Religion Saves is about the amazing grace of God. Driscoll describes this subject as one of the hardest to actually believe and remember. He writes this chapter as a reminder of just how wonderful is God's grace. He identifies 13 experiences of grace: electing grace, preached grace, regenerating grace, converting grace, justifying grace, adopting grace, ministry grace, sanctifying grace, empowering grace, provisional grace, miraculous grace, persevering grace, and glorifying grace.
