Product Overview
Are you concerned or confused about the Calvinistic doctrine of God's absolute sovereignty? Many people are. Despite the widespread acceptance of Calvinism among today's Evangelicals, this book explains why Calvin's teachings on the sovereignty of God and the Problem of Evil are biblically incorrect. In fact, Calvin's views have so decimated Evangelical apologetics that rational debate on the issue of divine sovereignty is hardly understood within Evangelicalism anymore, even by many pastors and teachers. Furthermore, Calvinism has led to an inability to express true, biblical Christianity to those outside (or even inside) the Evangelical faith. What is offered instead is a confusing amalgam of believing in Christ and believing for believing's sake, since, in the case of the unbeliever, he is asked to entrust his soul to the same caring God who is said to have foreordained all the animus of human experience, including Hitler's fascism, Stalin's communism, religions that oppose Christianity, and whatever other atrocities and contradictions history may offer. Despite all the confident-sounding rhetoric Calvinists make about keeping God safely ensconced in His own sphere of Being, what has largely taken place within Evangelical apologetics is a complete breakdown of definition. The result is an Evangelical apologetic where God is no longer distinct in His person or His moral character. Calvinism: A Closer Look will help inoculate you against the disease of Calvinist theology, and help you recover biblical truth.
