Title: A major challenge to Calvinism
Review: For the most part I found this book to be quite intellectually stimulating and a major challenge to the Calvinist point of view. The editor did a good job of assembling articles that represent the spectrum of opinions within the Arminian camp.A few of the extreme positions I don't agree with. But most of the book is very good. I. Howard Marshall's article on the pastoral epistles and William L. Craig's piece on middle-knowledge are both excellent. But I was particularly impressed with Terry Miethe's article, "The Universal Power of the Atonement." This is a major personal interest of mine. For a book-length work on this issue (written by a British Puritan Arminian theologian) I recommend "Redemption Redeemed: A Puritan Defense of Unlimited Atonement" by John Goodwin.
