The author then responds to the major issues involved in their objections to free will: foreknowledge and necessity, human depravity and the grace of God, the sovereignty and all-encompassing providence of God, and Edwards's rationalistic argument.
In each instance, the doctrine of free will, rightly understood, is in full and biblical accord with these concerns. A concluding chapter summarizes and expresses the bottom-line differences in the doctrine of salvation between the Arminian and the Calvinistic wings of reformed theology.
This date is considered the beginning of the Reformation. While the Protestant Reformers are widely praised for the rediscovery of the biblical gospel, they have come under fire regarding their views on mission. There are church historians and missiologists who argue that the Protestant Reformers were not interested in mission and, in fact, ignored the mission mandate which Christ had given to his Church. The critics seem to overlook the fact that cities, such as Geneva and Wittenberg, in which the Reformers lived, studied and taught, served as hubs of a huge missionary enterprise.
Thousands of preachers went out from these centres of the Reformation to spread the gospel all over Europe. Jan 01, Tyler Recker rated it liked it. Generally enjoyed and liked the book. Appreciated the history portions, although it seemed a tad disorganized and disjointed. Would have liked a few footnotes for some of his historical research. Beer grading section is definitely outdated as the book admits. Again though, overall, I enjoyed it.
Jan 18, Scott Cox rated it it was amazing Shelves: theology , non-fiction. This is an excellent pamphlet defending the Biblical use of alcohol, albeit in moderation. There is a fun section in the back entitled "Rating Favorite Beers," many of the descriptions also include a taste of Pastor Jim West's well-developed sense of humor. Aug 31, Dana rated it really liked it. A great book filled to the brim with trivia, history, humor, and a biblical background.

This book is full of fun and interesting material, but it was also obnoxious in places. And the beer guide at the back is lacking.
All to say I wanted to rate it higher. Sep 30, Ryan rated it liked it. I laughed out loud throughout this book. A fun read that gives a concise history of Protestants use of alcohol. A good book, though the beer guide in the back is lacking. Oct 02, Mark Stolz rated it really liked it. A wonderful coverage of drinking in the church through history. With the anti-alcohol movement being so relatively young, this is a good reminder that temperance must be tempered with grace.
Jun 29, Eric rated it liked it. Entertaining and informative. The thesis is to drink moderately is to be enlightened in gods word. Intoxication however is to be condemned by sin.
