Hyper-Calvinism and the Call of the Gospel: An Examination of the Well-Meant Offer
3rd edition
Is there a "well-meant offer" of salvation to all men? Or is the call of the gospel restricted to the elect only? Is there an alternative to these two extremes?
This book sets forth and defends the Reformed position of the gospel call to all mankind.
What others are saying about this book:
"It is a most helpful book for Reformed preachers who desire to preach the “whole counsel of God”—the full gospel. The book is not simply negative, condemning the errors of both hyper-Calvinism and compromised Calvinism as seen in the doctrine of, the well-meant offer, but there is also the positive setting forth of how a truly consistent Reformed preacher would proclaim the gospel to all (chapter 3, “The Reformed Doctrine of the Call of the Gospel”)." - Chris Coleborn
