![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() Again, these sorts of books won't convince a Calvinist to "switch sides," yet they may help reinforce the views of Arminians. The authors here are good Methodists (if there is such a thing, ha!), and they engage Calvinism very irenically. They give the Calvinist side every time, and are very sympathetic to their views, but they then support the Arminian side fairly well. Sometimes their real-world examples, allegories, get a bit kooky and hard to follow. The chapter entitled "Engaging the Bible" does just that, undermining the calumny on Amazon that this book is "all philosophy and no Bible." Again, Calvinists often suffer under the delusion that Calvinism is all Bible and no philosophy, and any other theological system is a corruption of fallen man. Walls and Dongell show that, indeed, Calvinism is a philosophical system that only works if every bit of TULIP works. They do a good enough job of knocking some of the acronym down, though as Methodists instead of, say, Free Will Baptists, they don't hit the nail of Hebrews 6:4-6 that hard at all. To sum up, this is an interesting, thought-provoking book, better than Debating Calvinism, but nowhere near as good as Grace, Faith, Free Will by Picirilli.

What's wrong with Calvinism?Since the Reformation, Calvinism has dominated much of evangelical thought. It has been so well established that many Christians simply assume it to be the truest expression of Christian doctrine. But Calvinism has some serious biblical and theological weaknesses that unsettle laypeople, pastors and scholars alike.God is sovereign. All evangelical Christians--whether Arminians or Calvinists--have no doubt about this fundamental truth. But how does God express his sovereignty? Is God a master puppeteer, pulling our strings? Or has he graciously given his children freedom to respond to his love?In this eminently readable book, Jerry L. Walls and Joseph R. Dongell explore the flaws of Calvinist theology. Why I Am Not a Calvinist is a must-read for all who struggle with the limitations of this dominant perspective within evangelical theology. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
