Description
Robert Wilkin, unwisely in my view, waded into the centuries old debate about how God saves. By sovereign will or human will? His efforts to refute Calvinism failed to persuade. From the beginning I suspected the overview of the five-point Tulip acronym using only two Scripture verses per tenet would prove insufficient. “A dozen passages serve as jurors to decide whether Calvinism is Biblical,” he writes in the introduction. Really? Twelve passages refute a five-hundred-year-old doctrinal system expounded and defended by names like John Knox, Jonathan Edwards, and Charles Spurgeon.
If we’re going to debate something commended since the Reformation, and founded on doctrines much older, a fuller treatment seems necessary. Of course, the 170 plus pages of material not including footnotes, would have swelled, a point Wilkin himself makes on page 12. Still, much of what he says could have been left off in favor of more convincing arguments.
