A Defense of Calvinism by Charles H. Spurgeon
God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine.
A Defense of Calvinism as the Gospel by David J. Engelsma
Calvinism is the Gospel. Its outstanding doctrines are simply the truths that make up the Gospel. Departure from Calvinism, therefore, is apostasy from the Gospel of God's grace in Christ.
A Sketch of Calvinism by David P. Henreckson
What exactly caused the glorious history of Calvinism? What doctrinal back-bone has effected such victory in the church’s history, but causes modernist “scholars” to gag?
Who was Arminius? by Robert Godfrey
James Arminius (Jacob Harmenszoon) is undoubtedly the most famous theologian ever produced by the Dutch Reformed Church. His fame is a great irony since the Dutch Reformed Church historically was a bastion of strict Calvinism and Arminius has given his name to a movement very much in opposition to historic Calvinism. Who was this Arminius? What did he teach? Are the differences between Calvinism and Arminianism important today?
God So Loved the World... by Homer C. Hoeksema
John 3:16 is probably the most frequently misinterpreted and misused verse in all of Holy Scripture. I refer to the fact, of course, that so often it is explained as meaning that God loves all men and that he gave his Son for all men. Nothing could be farther from the truth!
God's Sovereignty In Salvation by Steven Houck
Because God is the sovereign God, the Master and Ruler of heaven and earth, it must also be true that the will of God is sovereign.
God's Will and Man's Will by Horatius Bonar
Much of the present controversy is concerning the will of God. On this point many questions have arisen. The chief one is that which touches on the connection between the will of God and the will of man.
How Does a Sovereign God Love? a reply to Thomas Talbott by John Piper
My purpose here is simply to do what a pastor is supposed to do when "men rise from among our own number speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after them" (Acts 20:30). I want to try to defend the doctrine of God's sovereign predestination against Talbott's criticisms and so "preserve the truth of the gospel" and magnify God's glorious grace.
Introduction to John Owen's Death of Death by J. I. Packer
The Death of Death in the Death of Christ (Owen Works, X:139:148) is a polemical piece, designed to show among other things, that the doctrine of universal redemption is unscriptural and destructive of the gospel.
Practical Implications of Calvinism by Albert Martin
B. B. Warfield describes Calvinism as ‘that sight of the majesty of God that pervades all of life and all of experience’. In particular as it relates to the doctrine of salvation its glad confession is summarized in those three pregnant words, God saves sinners.
The "World" of John 3:16 Does Not Mean "All Men Without Exception" by David J. Engelsma
It is now common among Reformed people that, when one confesses God’s election of some persons to salvation, God’s particular love for the elect, and God’s exclusive desire to save the elect, his confession is immediately contested by an appeal to John 3:16.
The Choice: Man's or God's? by Unknown
You cannot bring men back to God unless that way of their salvation begins with God. Humanism always ends where it starts, namely, with man.
The Doctrines of Election and Final Perseverance - Excerpts from a letter by John Newton
The letter was written in response to someone questioning these doctrines and complaining that, though they did not dispute the existence of these things being named in the Bible, they could not embrace them.
The Five Points of Calvinism by W.J. Seaton
There is scarcely another word that arouses such suspicion, mistrust, and even animosity among professing Christians as the word Calvinism. And yet much of the zeal that is levelled against this system and those who hold and preach it is most certainly a zeal which is not according to knowledge.
The Fundamental Principle of Calvinism by Henry Meeter
The significance of John Calvin for the modern era is vividly described in these words: “The sixteenth was a great century. It was the century of Raphael and Michelangelo, of Spenser and Shakespeare, of Erasmus and Rabelais, of Copernicus and Galileo, of Luther and Calvin. Of all the figures that gave greatness to this century, none left a more lasting heritage than Calvin.
The Meaning of 'KOSMOS' in John 3:16 by Arthur W. Pink
Many people suppose they already know the simple meaning of John 3:16, and therefore they conclude that no diligent study is required of them to discover the precise teaching of this verse. Needless to say, such an attitude shuts out any further light which they otherwise might obtain on the passage.
The Rise & Demise of Calvinism Among Southern Baptists by Tom Nettles
The story of the commitment of early Baptists to the doctrines of grace is a picture of unity and fortitude. The earliest Baptist in America, Roger Williams, was a decided Calvinist and built his theory of religious liberty on his commitment to total depravity, unconditional election, effectual calling, perseverance of the saints, and definite atonement.
Thy Kingdom Come by Kim Riddlebarger
The second petition of our Lord's Prayer is a simple and yet dramatic one: "Thy Kingdom come." Our Lord tells us that we are to pray that God's kingdom (literally, God's rule, or reign) come in some sense in which God's kingdom is not already present.
What Is Calvinism? by Benjamin B. Warfield
It is very odd how difficult it seems for some persons to understand just what Calvinism is. And yet the matter itself presents no difficulty whatever. It is capable of being put into a single sentence; and that, on level to every religious man's comprehension.
Who Saves Whom? by Michael S. Horton
The touchstone question in the running debate between Jesus and the Pharisees, Paul and the Judaizers, Augustine and Pelagius, the Dominicans and the Franciscans, the Reformers and the medieval Roman Catholic church, and the Calvinists and Arminians is this: Who saves whom?
Calvinism: The Meaning and Uses of the Term by Benjamin B. Warfield
CALVINISM is an ambiguous term in so far as it is currently employed in two or three senses, closely related indeed, and passing insensibly into one another, but of varying latitudes of connotation. Sometimes it designates merely the individual teaching of John Calvin. Sometimes it designates...that body of Protestant Churches known historically, in distinction from the Lutheran Churches, as "the Reformed Churches"
The Five Points of Grace & of Predestination: Defined and Defended Against an Arminian Remonstrant by William Twisse
The Preface at this point has laid down the 5 points of the Synod of Dort as described somewhat incorrectly by the Arminian author of the book Mr. Twisse is critiquing. Twisse proceeds here to define and defend the 5 points using Scripture and logic.
