What is Dr. Geisler warning the Christian community about in his book, Chosen But Free? A new cult? Secularism? False prophecy scenarios? No. Dr. Geisler is sounding the alarm about a system of beliefs commonly called "Calvinism." He insists that this belief system is "theologically inconsistent, philosophically insufficient, and morally repugnant." This book is written as a reply to Dr. Geisler, but it is much more: it is a defense of the very principles upon which the Protestant Reformation was founded. Indeed, it is a defense of the very gospel itself! In a style that both scholars and laymen can appreciate, James White masterfully counters the evidence against so-called "extreme Calvinism," defines what the Reformed Faith actually is, and concludes that the gospel preached by the Reformers is the very one taught in the pages of Scripture. - Back cover
