Killing Calvinism. (How to Destroy a Perfectly Good Theology from the Inside).
By. Greg Dutcher (2012, Cruciform Press)
I think he nails the head on many of these topics. Aside from my exegetical reasons for not believing in this theological system, he provides some strong reasons for why this particular theological system is a turn off for many evangelicals. I by personal testimony give hearty agreement to some of the issues he raises and still remained unconvinced as to his attempts to respond to the problems. One thing I did enjoy is his ending each chapter with a prayer of confession for the specific sins addressed in the chapter.
Please note the chapters in the Table of Contents below:
Chapter One: By Loving Calvinism as an End in Itself
Chapter Two: By Becoming a Theologian instead of a Disciple
Chapter Three: By Loving God's Sovereignty more than God Himself
Chapter Four: By Losing an Urgency in Evangelism
Chapter Five: By Learning Only from other Calvinists
Chapter Six: By Tidying up the Bibles "Loose Ends"
Chapter Seven: By Being an Arrogant Know-it-all
Chapter Eight: By Scoffing at the Hang-ups other have with Calvinism Afterward
(Full review in the works).
