Prosperous Wicked and Plagued Saints is a commentary on Psalm 73 that sets forth the truth of God's goodness to his people in their trouble and of God's curse of the wicked in their prosperity. In light of the teaching of Psalm 73, the book takes issue with a theory about earthly prosperity and earthly woe that, for all its strange popularity with Reformed and evangelical Christians, only intensifies the believer's temptation to doubt in the hour of trouble: the theory of common grace.
