About this listen

A respectful approach to the debate over Reformed theology.

Calvinist theology has been debated and promoted for centuries. Roger Olson suggests that Calvinism, also commonly known as Reformed theology, holds an unwarranted place in our list of accepted theologies and certainly shouldn’t be understood as the only authentic Christian theology.

In Against Calvinism, listeners will find scholarly arguments disputing some points of Calvinist theology and how it affects God’s reputation. Olson draws on a variety of sources, including Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience, to support his critique of Calvinism and the more historically rich, biblically faithful alternative theologies he proposes.

Addressing what many evangelical Christians are concerned about today—so-called “new Calvinism,” a movement embraced by a generation labeled as “young, restless, Reformed”—Against Calvinism is the only book of its kind to offer objections from a non-Calvinist perspective to the current wave of Calvinism among Christian youth.

As a companion to Michael Horton’s For Calvinism, listeners will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.

I found the section on what is reformed theology best. The appendix that covers Molinism, only addresses Bruce Ware and isn't entirely accurate (since there are other varieties of Molinism. Olson conflates libertarian free will with the principal of alternative possibilities.
