Considering Calvinism Table of Contents

Calvinistic theology is usually explained by focusing on the five major Calvinistic doctrines, which are: (1) Total Depravity, (2) Unconditional Election, (3) Limited Atonement, (4) Irresistible Grace and (5) Perseverance of the Saints. All five points are more or less related to each other, so that one has a hard time accepting or rejecting one point without doing the same with the other four. They are easily remembered by using the acronym TULIP.

This particular study is a biblical and logical analysis of the five points of Calvinism. The first four articles are a response to a booklet titled, TULIP: What We Believe about the Five Points of Calvinism by John Piper.
