Publisher's Description

The five points of Calvinism. The basic framework of God's plan of salvation? Or man-made dogmas? What do these doctrines really mean? Can we be sure they are taught in the Bible? In this concise and compelling work, the authors clearly define each of the five points, defend them on the basis of Scripture, and document literature from the past that explains and supports Calvinism. Part One deals with the history and contents of Calvinism: why five points, when and how they were formulated, what they teach us, and how they differ from Arminianism. Part Two examines the biblical foundation for the five points from over 250 passages of Scripture. Part Three encourages further study by providing full source information and a brief review of the best older writings on the whole Calvinistic system and on each point.

Endorsement

Every disciple should read and study Steele's book, THE FIVE POINTS OF CALVINISM. Wherever you find yourself on the debate of Calvinsim, this book is needed to help you learn the five main points of Calvinism first coined at the Synod of Dort.

The book deals with both the history, theology, and philosophy of Calvinism and seeks to show that Calvinism is both logical and biblical. The book is an excellent resource for defending or attacking Calvinism because of its popularity and its presupposition that Calvinism can be defended from Scripture.

I would highly recommend the updated form of this book with a new appendix on Divine Foreknowledge.
