Ten Myths About Calvinism
Recovering the Breadth of the Reformed Tradition.
Historian of Christianity Ken Stewart is intent on setting the record straight
about Reformed theology. He identifies ten myths held by either or both
Calvinists and non-Calvinists and shows how they are gross mischaracterizations
of that theological stream. Certain of these persistent stereotypes that defy
historical research often present a truncated view of the depth and breadth of
the Reformed tradition. Others, although erroneous, are nevertheless used to
dismiss outright this rich body of biblical theological teaching.
Some key question Stewart explores in this provocative, informative and
thoroughly researched book:
* Is the role reserved for John Calvin possibly exaggerated?
* Are there improper, as well as proper uses of the doctrine of
predestination?
* To what extent is the popular acronym, T.U.L.I.P. a helpful device, and to
what extent is it detrimental in encapsulating key doctrines?
* Should the Calvinist position towards movements of spiritual renewal be one
of support, or one of suspicion?
* Didn't Calvinism more or less 'bring up the rear' in advancing the cause of
world mission?
* Doesn't the Calvinist approach to Christianity encourage the belief that the
redeemed will be saved irrespective of their conduct?
* Doesn't the Calvinist track-record show an at-best mixed legacy on critical
issues such as race and gender relations?
* Hasn't the Calvinist concept of the church's role vis-A-vis the state tended
toward theocracy?
* Isn't it true that Calvinistic expressions of Christianity have been a damper
on the creative arts, whether the theater or painting or sculpture?
This thoroughly researched book is sure to enrich both promoters and
detractors, students and scholars.
While some may find even the word 'Calvinism' to be unhelpful, it is a " standard term used by both its friends and enemies. Thus, Kenneth Stewart has
done us all a service by writing a book which highlights and refutes many of
the misconceptions about Calvinism propagated by both its adherents and its
opponents. This book will provoke healthy and thoughtful discussions both among
Reformed people and between the Reformed and Christians who belong to other
traditions. - Carl R. Trueman"
