Title: Bad!
Review: These essays attempt to refute Calvinism without providing a consistent alternative. Many of the essays attack one point of Calvinism with the unstated assumption that the other four points are false. Most of the rest of the essays use "that's not fair!" reasoning and ignore scripture.Some of the highly-questionable claims made in the book are: - Omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence must be redefined. - The future hasn't happened yet, so it doesn't exist to be known. Therefore, God does not know the future. As a result, prophecy is not a foretelling of the future. Instead, prophecies are predictions or warnings based on exhaustive knowledge of the present and the past. - If God has the power to grant salvation, then ALL humans are entitled to salvation. - Universal salvation is a possibility. (Proverbs 16:4 and Romans 9 are not discussed.) - God is unable or unwilling to irresistibly change a human's will. (Paul's conversion is not discussed.)
