This work addresses a topic of interest to many people who are seeking to better understand the Christian doctrine of salvation (soteriology). It is written to provide a systematic biblical and theological critique of a particularly popular perspective of this doctrine that has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, namely Calvinism. The book is structured around the so-called five points of Calvinism, commonly referred to by the acronym TULIP: Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints. Following an initial chapter outlining the historical development of the doctrine, each of the five points are examined in subsequent chapters. Each point is described in the words of prominent Calvinist scholars, key biblical texts purporting to support the doctrine carefully evaluated, and a series of theological issues related to the point are raised and discussed.

A study of the fundamentals of salvation according to the gospel through the blood of Jesus Christ. Includes a careful study of obedient faith compared to Calvinism. Topics discussed include the following: * The sacrifice of Jesus Christ * The importance of the gospel, faith, obedience, repentance, confession * A careful study of baptism: its purpose, action, and proper subject * Should an alien sinner pray for forgiveness? * What does it mean to be born again? * The importance of living a faithful life as a Christian * The importance of Jesus' church * Forgiveness for children of God who return to error * Original sin and inherited depravity * Election and predestination * Grace and mercy of God * Falling from grace (Once Saved, Always Saved) * Faith only or obedient faith?

This book is written for today’s church. However, it is not written to impugn anyone’s belief. Rather, the purpose is to redirect the sole honor, glory, and credit for anyone’s salvation toward the Triune God and away from any human initiative or action. To take credit for any part of salvation, regardless of the amount, is to take away from the effectiveness of the workings of the Holy Spirit, Christ’s sacrifice, and the Father’s divine will.
