Calvinism and Arminianism: An Overview (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781520378145)

This subject has arguably sparked the greatest theological debate among Christians in history. It has an impact on how we understand salvation, Bible interpretation, evangelism, Christian living, the character of God, and other issues. This is a subject that every new believer needs to interact with because they'll be faced with it sooner or later. In this article we'll overview both positions and look at some of the Scripture each side uses for support. The article is meant to challenge, stir thinking, and encourage the reader in love to consider what the rest of Scripture has to say on this issue instead of simply the verses they know or what their church has taught them. As Proverbs 18:17 says, "The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him." If all we ever know is what we're told from the first person who told us, we feel pretty secure... at least until we begin reading the Bible for ourselves. I share the story of my own journey on this issue and what led me to begin studying and to look at the Bible in a way I never had before. I hope that whether or not you disagree with the conclusions I came to, that you'll allow God to speak through His Word as you consider seriously what it has to say on these matters, for His truth is the ultimate authority.*All proceeds go to support my wife and I as we are at seminary.
