The God of Calvinism: A Rebuttal of Reformed Theology

Fundamentally this book is about the character of God. Between these pages, Calvinism is in the dock: the charge? Calvinist theology maligns God's character to such a degree that it should be utterly abandoned as a valid Christian doctrine, avoided with all possible industry, or repented of. Why is knowledge of Calvinism important? What are the consequences of Calvinist theology? If you are a Christian who understands the importance of doctrine in your relationship with God and are considering Calvinism, the answers to those questions (set forth in this book) will be critical to your future growth. If you are a student charged with an assignment to understand the basic tenets of Calvinism, the book will give you a clear understanding of its major points and help you understand how those doctrines relate to the whole counsel of Scripture. If you are a Calvinist (at the moment), it might be suggested that these arguments are even more critical, since they assert that the doctrine which shapes your understanding of God's character will eventuate in a false understanding of God's nature-which will in turn result in a slow, shriveling transmogrification of your relationship with God from one of vibrant life to one devoid of Spirit or Truth, absent the life-giving flow that comes from a right perception of the Creator of the Universe, and leave you simply a dead husk built of theory, academic argument, and self-righteousness, held together only by the glue of pride in and dependence upon one's own understanding.
