Daniel Gracely, *Calvinism: A Closer Look: Evangelicals, Calvinism, and Why No One’s Answering the Problem of Evil*

A book available to read online by
Daniel Gracely: Calvinism: A Closer Look: Evangelicals, Calvinism , and Why No One’s Answering the Problem of Evil, published by Grandma’s Attic Press, © 2006-2009. Please note that the author of this book is not an Arminian, but that we have provided a link to the book because it has some good material related to the Arminian/Calvinist debate. SEA does not endorse everything in the book and disagrees with some of what Gracely says. In the author's words, the book "is about sophisticated ways Calvinists (unwittingly) falsify certain things about the Bible, despite the appearance of telling the truth. I know about this, because for many years I was a Calvinist, and that is what I did."
