For Calvinism

By: Michael Horton

Narrated by: Maurice England

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.

A great book

I loved it and every moments i spend reading it is so helpful and great.

Succinct and Worth Any Christian's Time

Michael Horton's book is a very tight summary of the basics of Calvinism. He uses the basic structure of T.U.L.I.P. (though he has changed some of the point names and ends up with T.U.P.E.P.) to walk the reader through Calvinism with a great variety of points of view and arguing for his own understanding. Speaking as an MDiv student studying Theology, this is a great introduction and should be easily understandable to any person looking to learn more about Calvinism.
I highly recommend reading this book along with Roger Olson's Against Calvinism for a balanced view on the strengths and weaknesses of this view.

Fair to both sides

This book is very fair to both sides of the debate. Even though I strongly disagree with the view in this book, it is still a fair representation of Calvinism as a whole.

Loved this book!

This book made me so happy hearing of God's sovereignty and the means of grace which He has provided, as well as the history behind the Reformed confessions, especially the Three Forms of Unity. I bought several copies for friends and family to share what God has done and continues to do in the world. I highly recommend it. Soli Deo Gloria!

High Five.

As a simple, non academic person, I loved it. I grasped it's arguments easily due to the overall plain language with profound arguments and detailed explanations.
