Calvinism: Introduction

Welcome to our special Calvinism issue. If you're wondering what to expect or why we are doing an issue like this, the introduction will prove a sound starting point.

Part 1: Total Depravity

Can sinful and fallen, spiritually dead men rise up on their own and seek God, or does God seek us instead?

Part 2: Unconditional Election

Did I earn His Grace by anything — even the wisdom to answer His call — or was His election of me wholly by grace?

Part 3: Irresistible Grace

Is it possible that God wrote my name in the Book of Life, only to have His intention for me to be thwarted by my will, or is His call always answered?

Part 4: Perseverance of the Saints

Can I spend my whole life in faith and still go to Hell because of a slip before I die, or does Jesus hold tightly to those He has saved?

Part 5: Limited Atonement

Did Jesus intend to pay the price for ever sin in the world and fail in His mission, or did He pay for exactly the sins for which He intended to pay?
