About What Love Is This? Calvinism's Misrepresentation Of

Product Description Many sincere, Bible-believing Christians are Calvinists only by default. Thinking that the only choice is between Calvinism (with its presumed doctrine of eternal security) and Arminianism (with its teaching that salvation can be lost), and confident of Christ's promise to keep eternally those who believe in Him, they therefore consider themselves to be Calvinists.   It takes only a few simple questions to discover that most Christians are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and practiced. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe.   Although there are disputed variations of the Calvinist doctrine, among its chief proponents (whom we quote extensively in context) there is general agreement on certain core beliefs. Many evangelicals who think they are Calvinists will be surprised to learn of Calvin's belief in salvation through infant baptism and of his grossly un-Christian behavior, at times, as the "Protestant Pope" of Geneva, Switzerland. Most shocking of all, however, is Calvinism's misrepresentation of God, who “is love.”   It is our prayer that this volume will enable readers to examine more carefully the vital issues involved and to follow God's holy Word­—not man’s teachings. "The first edition of this book was greeted by fervent opposition and criticism from Calvinists. In this enlarged and revised edition I have endeavored to respond to the critics." —Dave Hunt Review "Dave Hunt has given exact details to show the agonizing faults of Calvinistic abuses that most people have not considered." --Elmer L. Towns, Dean, School of Religion, Liberty University "I am glad to see Dave deal with a tough subject...and challenge the Biblical basis for TULIP." --Jim Custer, Right Start Ministries "Dave Hunt has given us a fascinating expose of modern five-point Calvinism that is both highly readable and practical." --Bob Wilkin, Ph.D., Founder and Executive Director, Grace Evangelical Society Review Calvinism...comes perilously close to blasphemy. And that is why I congratulate Dave Hunt for writing this excellent clarification of the doctrine that has its roots more in Greek humanism, from where it originated, than it does in Scripture.... Every evangelical minister should read this book. If they did, we would see a mighty revival of soul-winning passion that would turn this world upside down as multitudes saw the real God of the Bible, not the false God of Augustinianism and Calvinism. TIM LAHAYE, Author of more than 50 books and co-author of the Left Behind Series Dave Hunt has done it again....stirred the Christian community into taking a serious look at the aberrant teachings... of John Calvin...and thoroughly documents his findings. It is a, must-read for those who are serious in their desire to understand the influence that Calvin has had and continues to have on the Evangelical church.

Blind-fold your prejudices and be ready for a stunning and desperately needed perspective on this highly controversial area. Here is another essential for the serious student of God's Word. DR.
