Simon Peter Sutherland, “A 20th century revival of 17th century Tulip Mania”
The Tulip as a flower first came to England in 1578. The very same year the complete Geneva Bible was first printed in England. In those days there was such a thing as “Tulip Mania”.…
John Calvin: Heresy Hunter with an Axe to Grind
“Does a fountain send forth at the same place both sweet and bitter water?” (James 3:11, KJV) Did you know that John Calvin staunchly believed that executing unrepentant heretics was justified? Did you know that…
When It Comes to Calvinism, Logic Can Lead to Heresy
Most Calvinists I have ever read or heard or spoken to will insist that God is not the author of sin and evil. But can they, real Calvinists, say that with logic on their side? Or,…
Calvinists Concerned about the Salvation of Arminians
