It’s the St. Bessus’s Day edition of the Friday Files, SEA’s weekly roundup of old posts. The views expressed therein are not necessarily that of SEA—but we did put ’em on our website, so there’s that. K.W. Leslie does the summaries. SEA members’ names are in blue.
“Review: From Heaven He Came and Sought Her.”

• “Part 1.”
The first part of a review of David & Jonathan Gibson’s book on limited atonement; namely where we see the idea in church history. Or where we don’t.
• “Part 2.”
Now for where we see the idea of limited atonement in the scriptures—once you explain away all the passages which say Christ’s atonement is for all.
• “Part 3.”
Ultimately, the book doesn’t succeed in demonstrating its premise. Not a single biblical statement overtly states Christ only died for the elect, but easily a dozen verses say he died for all.

“Only Paul. [Satire.]”

Wesleyan Holiness Digital Library.So much good Arminian stuff out there.
The Friday Files might wet your whistle for Arminian articles of interest, but if you wanna tap the motherload, our members have blogs, and are constantly adding to them. (I myself post four or five pieces a week.) Can you keep up with the content? Well, the best way to give it a shot is with a feedreader or news aggregator—like Feeder, Feedreader, Feedly, G2Reader, Inoreader, NewsBlur, and The Old Reader. Blogs usually have an RSS or Atom feed. Plug them into your feedreader, and never be short of material.
