2. Killing Calvinism
How to Destroy a Perfectly Good Theology (Without Even Trying)
A clear, accessible critique of classical Calvinist doctrine that argues the five-point system misrepresents God’s character and undermines evangelism and human responsibility. Drawing on Scripture, church history, and pastoral experience, it challenges ideas such as unconditional election, limited atonement, and irresistible grace, and advances an alternative emphasis on God’s universal love, grace genuinely offered to all, and the real freedom of human response. The book aims to restore a gospel that motivates mission and pastoral care rather than fatalism.
