The book examines election, atonement, effectual calling, and perseverance, while addressing the common portrayal of Calvinism as fatalistic.

The description also positions the book alongside Roger Olson’s *Against Calvinism*, offering a way to compare differing perspectives on the tradition.

Book overview

In an eloquent defense of Calvinist theology, author and professor Michael Horton invites us to explore the teachings of Calvinism--also commonly known as Reformed theology--by showing how it is biblical and Christ-centered, leading us to live our lives for the glory of God.

The system of theology known as Calvinism has been immensely influential for the past five hundred years, but it's often encountered negatively as a fatalistic belief system that confines human freedom and renders human action and choice irrelevant.

Taking us beyond the caricatures and typical reactions, For Calvinism:

  • Explores the historical roots of Reformed thought.
  • Delivers the essence of Calvinism, examining its distinctive characteristics, such as election, atonement, effectual calling, and perseverance.
  • Encourages us to consider its rich resources for faith and practice in the present age.

As a companion to Roger Olson's Against Calvinism critique and response, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.
