<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The truth defended in this book is sovereign, particular grace in the preaching of the gospel. The charge against the truth that the book refutes is hyper-Calvinism--the charge that the doctrine of particular grace in the preaching of the gospel is the error of preaching only to the elect.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The truth defended in this book is sovereign, particular grace in the preaching of the gospel. The book contends that this truth is fundamental to the theology of the Reformed faith in its entirety, that is, to scripture's gospel of salvation by grace alone and to the authoritative confession of the gospel by the Reformed Creed, the Canons of Dordt.</p><p><em>Hyper-Calvinism and the Call of the Gospel</em> refutes the charge against the truth that is hyper-calvinism. This is the charge that the doctrine of particular grace in the preaching of the gospel is, or necessarily leads to, the error of preaching only to the elect, including calling only the elect to repent and believe.</p><p>The book exposes and condemns the heresy that the promiscuous preaching of the gospel with its unrestricted call to all hearers to repent and believe is, in fact, the saving grace of God to all who hear the preaching, reprobate ungodly as well as elect. This error teaches that the saving grace of God in the preaching depends on the acceptance of an offered salvation by the sinner himself.</p><p>John H. Gerstner writes in the foreword, "This is certainly an interesting, informative, lively, learned discussion of the essence of the gospel call to all mankind. In my opinion Professor Engelsma carefully defines and convincingly avoids hyper-Calvinism himself and clears his denomination, the Protestant Reformed Churches, of so teaching."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Here is a clear statement from one of the most vigorous Reformed communities in North America. No serious study of the matter can avoid considering the Protestant Reformed perspective on the issue." --Christian Observer</p><p><br /> "This book is an opportunity to listen to a committed five-point Calvinist speaking to other five-point Calvinists about what he considers to be an extreme form of Calvinism on the one hand, and the free-will positions of Arminians, on the other. It is a fascinating book. I think it is well worth reading and having." --Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society</p><p><br /> "The reader...who wishes to be consistently biblical (Reformed) in his views should find this book a helpful historical and biblical study of an important, if not crucial, doctrine which affects not simply one's view of preaching but also of evangelism and missions." --Vox Reformata</p><p><br /> "A well-written defense of 'pure' Calvinism against the inroads of Arminianism...Anyone who is interested in reading a clear presentation of what pure Calvinism is can find it in this book." --Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly</p><p><br /> "There is here the high ground of Protestant Reformed apologetic with chapters on Calvin, Turretin, and Kuyper. The author valiantly attempts to defend the urgency of mission preaching from the Hoeksema point of view." --Calvin Theological Journal</p><br>
