EVANGELISTIC CALVINISM
Why the Doctrines of Grace are Good News
By John Benton. Banner of Truth. 31 pages. £1.00
ISBN 0 85151 929 6

This booklet by EN’s editor sets out to refute a negative view of ‘the five points’ — Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace and the Perseverance of the Saints. Far from being doctrines which should embarrass those who hold them, they are ‘five beautiful diamonds from which the glories of Jesus wonderfully shine’ to attract unbelievers.

Without attempting any detailed biblical defence of these doctrines, the author summarises what they affirm and demonstrates how they fit the realities of sinful human nature and provide strong encouragements to sinners to turn to the Lord Jesus.
