" Professed Calvinists will want to rethink their position when they realize the Biblical truths that are at stake." -- William MacDonald, Author of more than 80 books in 100 languages
"... a fascinating expose of modern five-point Calvinism...I especially enjoyed the section on perserverance and assurance of salvation." -- Bob Wilkin PH.D, Founder and Executive Director Grace Evangelical Society
"Blindfold your prejudices and be ready for a stunning and desperately needed perspective on this highly controversial area." -- Dr. Chuck Missler, Founder Koinonia House
"Calvinism makes our Heavenly Father look like the worst of despots and I join Dave in declaring Him: Not Guilty! -- Joseph R. Chambers, Pastor, author, Radio Host
"It is a must-read to understand the influence Calvin has had and continues to have on the Evangelical Church." -- Chuck Smith, Calvary Chapel
"Rarely has anyone undertaken the exhaustive task of detailing and documenting the misconception of God's sovereign grace as Dave Hunt." -- Arno Froese, Executive Director, Midnight Call
"This may well be the most important book written in the twenty-first century for all evangelical Christians to read." -- Tim LaHaye, co-author Left Behind Series
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. CHUCK SMITH, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa
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
This book exposes traditional Calvinism for portraying God in a totally unscriptural manner....[and] will stand as a definitive work on the subject. WILLIAM MACDONALD, Author of more than 80 books in 100 languages
Dave Hunt continues his intrepid commitment to revealing the truth however unfashionable or politically incorrect it may be deemed. 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. CHUCK MISSLER, Founder, Koinonia House
Rarely has anyone undertaken the exhaustive task of detailing and documenting the misconception of God's sovereign grace as has Dave Hunt....This book needs to be read by every communicator of the Gospel.... ARNO FROESE, Executive Director, Midnight Call Ministry Editor, Midnight Call
This incredible book by Dave Hunt is imperative...[and] exposes the horror of spiritual apartheid for what it really is. Calvinism makes our Heavenly Father look like the worst of despots and I join Dave in declaring Him: Not Guilty! JOSEPH R. CHAMBERS, DD, DSL, Pastor, author, and radio host
Dave Hunt has given us a fascinating expose of modern five-point Calvinism that is both highly readable and practical. I especially enjoyed the section on perseverance and assurance of salvation. BOB WILKIN, PH.D., Founder and Executive Director, Grace Evangelical Society
As a biblicist, I find this to be a refreshing biblical review of things which for many years have brought confusion to believers. We've allowed words and ideas of men to determine our positions. This book reminds us to listen to what the Word of God has to say. HARRY BOLLBACK, Co-founder with Jack Wyrtzen of Word of Life International
In Dave's book, we are challenged to go back to the Scriptures as we evaluate the workings of God on this all-important subject of salvation. This is definitely a book that causes us to reflect on how we formulate our doctrine. JOE JORDAN, Executive Director, Word of Life Fellowship, Inc.
I am glad to see Dave deal with a tough subject, supply materials that many of us have not accessed until now, and challenge the Biblical basis for tulip. JIM CUSTER, Right Start Ministries --Jim Custer
Product Description
BC is pleased to announce the publication of Dave Hunt's crucial critique of Calvinism—now in paperback! This fourth edition has a couple of noteworthy differences and advantages from the third hardcover edition. First of all, this important resource is now able to be distributed to Christian inmates (hardcover books are not permitted in prison). Second, in order to make the book more portable and affordable, chapters 30 and 31 (which presented the fictional but true-to-life account of "Al" and "Jan") have been extracted. The material from these two chapters is contained in a separate book: A Calvinist's Honest Doubts. Lastly, documentation and formatting have been fine-tuned to improve accuracy and readability. We trust that even more readers will be blessed by the availability and increased "share-ability" of this important work.Discussions with many people around the world reveal that multitudes of sincere, Bible-believing Christians are "Calvinists" only by defalt. It takes only a few simple questions to discover the fact that most of those who regard themselves as Calvinists are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and pracitice. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe. What Love Is This? exposes the true beliefs of Calvinism and addresses all the issues surrounding this doctrine.Contents:1. Why This Book?2. Is Biblical Understanding Reserved for an Elite?3. John Calvin and His Institutes4. Calvinism's Surprising Catholic Connection5. Irresistibly Imposed "Christianity"6. Arminius, Dort, Westminster, and Five Points7. Total Depravity8.
