THINKING THROUGH CALVINISM’S PORTRAIT OF GOD, HUMANS, AND SALVATION
Does Calvinism paint a biblical portrait of God? Of humans? Are humans totally depraved to such a degree that God must pick who will be saved or not? Are we only made to feel that we have free, personal agency in the matter? What’s the most biblical way to interpret passages like Romans 9?
Are questions like these important enough for thoughtful Christians to explore?
In this book, New Testament theologian John Whittaker takes us on a tour of Calvinism, exploring:
“Concise and fair, Whittaker’s What is Calvinism? is an important introduction to the work of the founder of Reformed Theology.”

“This book is my go-to primer when people want to understand Calvinism. Highly recommended.”
—Bobby Harrington, CEO of Renew.org and Discipleship.org
“With exceptional clarity and fairness, Dr. Whittaker carefully evaluates the core teachings of Calvinism.”
—James Brummett, pastor, JourneyRVA.com
