Neo-Calvinism in the Church of Christ
The fundamental teaching of truth during the Restoration Movement was so effective that it eradicated practically every vestige of Calvinism within churches of Christ. From the early 1800's until the present, classic Calvinism (TULIP) has been recognized as the error it is. In recent decades, however, while we find few, if any, teaching the entire system, that some doctrines are being taught which have their source in Calvinism is undeniable. These interpretations constitute what could be called "Neo-Calvinism".
The material in this book will serve to alert Christians to the subtle dangers of Neo-Calvinism. While few might be susceptible to the blunt and ugly errors of total depravity, predestination, etc., there appear to be many who are unwittingly accepting some facets of Calvinism, who misinterpret the grace of God and misinform others concerning the manner in which righteousness is imputed to sinners and who denigrate man's ability to respond to God's grace.
