About this listen
In an eloquent defense of Calvinist theology, author and professor Michael Horton invites us to explore the teachings of Calvinism - also commonly known as Reformed theology - by showing how it is biblical and Christ-centered, leading us to live our lives for the glory of God.
The system of theology known as Calvinism has been immensely influential for the past 500 years, but it's often encountered negatively as a fatalistic belief system that confines human freedom and renders human action and choice irrelevant.
Taking us beyond the caricatures and typical reactions, For Calvinism:
- Explores the historical roots of Reformed thought.
- Delivers the essence of Calvinism, examining its distinctive characteristics, such as election, atonement, effectual calling, and perseverance.
- Encourages us to consider its rich resources for faith and practice in the present age.
As a companion to Roger Olson's Against Calvinism critique and response, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.

Pilgrim Theology is a map for Christians seeking to better understand the core beliefs of their faith. Even though it's the study of God, theology has a reputation for being dry, abstract, and irrelevant for daily living. But theology is a matter of life and death. It affects the way you think, the decisions you make, the way you relate to God and the world. Reformed theologian and professor Michael Horton wrote Pilgrim Theology as a more accessible companion to his award-winning systematic theology The Christian Faith.

Story
For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man's own body, we too easily begin to think of the Holy Spirit as an extension of ourselves.

It’s a book that will reveal how these two biblical phrases - Fear God and Do Not Be Afraid - are not contradictory but actually one coherent message.

From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty”. Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.

Grace is the heart of God to do you good when you deserve it least. But do we really know how deeply we don't deserve it? Only God can reveal that to us. He does it through the bible. And when he does, the wonders of his grace explode with brightness as never before. These Five Points are about how Christians come into being, and how we are kept forever. It reaches back into times past when we were freely chosen. It reaches forward into the future when we will be safe and happy forever.

A reasonable Calvinist
I’m a synergist that leans a lot closer to Arminianism and I still found this book good. He is very reasonable and gives a fairly honest characterization of the other side. I’m not used to that with Calvinists. They usually spend a lot of time ripping apart straw men. Apart from his views on TULIP, I learned some things from him about history, church, sacraments and more. I liked the book and would recommend it, but agree more with this book’s counterpart, “Against Calvinism” by Roger Olsen, which was an excellent book.

Succinct and Worth Any Christian's Time
Michael Horton's book is a very tight summary of the basics of Calvinism. He uses the basic structure of T.U.L.I.P. (though he has changed some of the point names and ends up with T.U.P.E.P.) to walk the reader through Calvinism with a great variety of points of view and arguing for his own understanding. Speaking as an MDiv student studying Theology, this is a great introduction and should be easily understandable to any person looking to learn more about Calvinism.
I highly recommend reading this book along with Roger Olson's Against Calvinism for a balanced view on the strengths and weaknesses of this view.

Fair to both sides
This book is very fair to both sides of the debate. Even though I strongly disagree with the view in this book, it is still a fair representation of Calvinism as a whole.

Loved this book!
This book made me so happy hearing of God's sovereignty and the means of grace which He has provided, as well as the history behind the Reformed confessions, especially the Three Forms of Unity. I bought several copies for friends and family to share what God has done and continues to do in the world. I highly recommend it. Soli Deo Gloria!

Regardless of What You Believe
Know This: It is God's Commitment To Us, Not Our Commitment To Him, That Brings Us To Faith & Keeps Us In Faith To The Very End.

Excellent information
This book does an excellent job of defending the doctrines of Grace with biblical evidence and exposition, provides historical perspectives, along with highlighting the significance that Calvinists had in world missions. Great book, highly recommend it.

A must listen for both sides...
Once though myself as an Arminian... now thinking Molinist....
The issues I have with Calvinism weren't all addressed, but this book cleared up a lot of misunderstanding.
My problem is really hearing Calvinists and thinking "yea, I agree with most of the things you say..."
Then hearing Arminians and thinking "I agree with even more of what you say..."
I honestly believe the truth is somewhere in the middle... which Molinism seems to be where it lies...
This will be one of the great questions answered by the Messiah when we are all standing in our glorified bodies before Him...

Great Book and Great Narrator!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It is clear and concise and is informational for anyone wanting to study the subject or know how to better address these issues.
What did you like best about this story?
The Narrator was fantastic. I could listen to him all day long. Kind of like listening to Alistair Begg, but the narrator doesn't have an accent.
Have you listened to any of Maurice England’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I will definitely listen to more as long as they contain such deep and accurate theological content.
