Times Online article highlights Calvin

The Times Online ran a story, "Calvin: Still hot at 500" on July 10th (the birthday of Calvin). It mentions the Times article on Calvin, and the ESV Bible. It is young American Evangelicals spurring new interest in Calvin, according to the article. It even characterizes the movement toward Calvin as a "back-to-the-Bible" movement. I like that admission! .

The article includes an interesting description of the five points of Calvinism. In fact, I'm not sure I agree with the description of particular atonement as "Jesus atoned once and for all for sin." While this is true, it's not sufficient to explaint he concept of particular atonement (AKA "limited atonement").

Well, it's good to see continued interest in Calvin insofar as it highlights the doctrines of God's grace, and the role of grace in our salvation.
