Description: Confused about the differences between Calvinism and Arminianism? Tired of uneducated clergy and layman confusing "classical Calvinism" with the error of hyper-Calvinism? Would you like to know how to answer the false Arminian charges often brought up in a discussion like "Calvinism makes God the author of sin?" or "Why evangelize?" In 1985 the authors, Talbot and Crampton put together a simple yet effective study on this all to often misunderstood; yet vitally important teaching.

There is probably no issue that has created more division in the Church. Just how does salvation work? What did God accomplish through the cross and what is it that man does in order to receive its benefits? Most Christians have heard of the primary positions on this issue, but are somewhat baffled by their distinctions. Just what are the fault lines of the Arminian vs. Calvinism debate? And as importantly, what does true Calvinism teach over against the "straw-man" of hypercalvinism - the prevailing caricature so many use to attack the distinctives of the reformed faith?

The Apologetics Group is committed to providing tools to help spark this reformation. Along with Amazing Grace and other videos and books, we are pleased to announce the publication of Calvinism, Hyper-Calvinism and Arminianism by Drs. Kenneth Talbot and Gary Crampton. Learn how the sovereignty of God does not relieve man from his duty or responsibility. Discover how the gospel can be shared without compromising God's sovereignty. Finally, learn that Calvinism is more than five points of theology, but a world and life view that has great implications on how we are to live our lives, love our spouse, raise our children and disciple the nations.

"...[this book] is a new and fresh examination of the Biblical doctrines of sovereign grace [Calvinism]. The views are set forth logically, Biblically, and convincingly. IT IS A BOOK WHICH SHOULD BE READ BY ANYONE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF SALVATION. (Emphasis mine) Dr. Kennedy concludes, "...I invite you to read on and find out what Calvinists really believe."
- Dr. D. James Kennedy, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and author of "Evangelism Explosion"

"The resurgence of historical, evangelical Calvinism in our day has unfortunately yet inevitably resulted in a great deal of misinformation about the biblical teachings that are associated with that nickname. One of the best ways to come to clear away the confusion and come to an accurate understanding of Calvinism is to study it in contrast to views that may appear to be similar to it but which in reality are very different from it. Such discriminating teaching sets the truth in proper contrast to the "almost-truth." This book, Calvinism, Hyper-Calvinism and Arminianism does exactly that. It is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to understand what the Bible actually teaches about the salvation that we have in Jesus Christ. I highly recommend it!
- Dr. Thomas Ascol Pastor, Grace Baptist Church and Editor of the Founders Journal
