Excerpt from A Refutation of Calvinism: In Which, the Doctrines of Original Sin, Grace, Regeneration, Justification, and Universal Redemption, Are Explained, and the Peculiar Tenets Maintained by Calvin Upon Those Points Are Proved to Be Contrary to Scripture
I feel great satisfaction in being able to lay before my Readers a massot such consistentnnd decisive evidence, extending from Ignatius and Clement Of Rome, who were contemporaries with the Apostles, to Theodoret, who lived in the fifth century, and comprehending almost every Eccle-o siastical Writer within that period. The little which remains of these writers from whose works. No extracts are given, contains nothing relative to the Calvinistic system. I desire it to be under stood that I have not selected what suits my own purpose, and suppressed what would have made. Against me. My inquiry has not furnished a singlepassage in any Of the works of the antient Fathers Of the Christian Church, in which any one Of the peculiar tenets of Calvin is maintained, with the exception of the later writings of Augustine, who did not live till the very, end of the fourth century. If Calvinists pretend thfi absolute decrees, the unconditional election and reprobation Of individuals, particular redemption; irr'esistible grace, and the entire destruction of free-will in manincon'sequence of the F all, were thedoctrines Of the Primitive Church of Christ.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a historical and theological exploration of Calvinism, a significant branch of Protestant Christianity. The author meticulously examines the core tenets of Calvinism, including original sin, free will, and divine grace, contrasting them with the beliefs of the early Christian church. Through a comprehensive analysis of scripture, the author argues that the early church held views that diverged from the Calvinistic understanding of these doctrines. The book further explores the evolution of Calvinistic doctrines from the time of the apostles to the Reformation era, providing a historical context for understanding the development of this theological system. By juxtaposing Calvinistic beliefs with the teachings of the early church fathers and scripture, this book challenges readers to critically engage with complex theological concepts. The author's insightful analysis sheds light on the nuances of Calvinism, prompting reflection on the nature of human sinfulness, the role of free will in salvation, and the operation of divine grace. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions about the nature of salvation and the relationship between God and humanity.
