It’s the St. Johann Gerhard Day edition of the Friday Files, our weekly look back at oldies-but-goodies from the SEA archives. The views they express are frequently those of SEA, but not always. SEA members’ names are in blue, and K.W. Leslie apologizes if the summaries don’t necessarily summarize as well as they oughta.

• “Explaining Calvinism to Calvinists (and others).”
[11/30/13] As a professional theologian, Olson has studied and understands Calvinism. Rank-and-file Calvinists, on the other hand, less so—as proven by the things they say.
• “Why I don’t respond to every critic or debate every Calvinist.”
[12/18/13] For every thoughtful, honest, respectful Calvinist like Michael Horton whom Olson is pleased to engage with, there are bushels of evil weasels.
• “Does God foreordain and render certain sins? (And why some questions annoy me.)”
[1/1/14] No, ’cause God’s not the author of evil; and Olson could do without the condescension.
“Something for Calvinists to chew on.”
“A response to John Piper on, ‘Where’s the Arminian John Piper?’”
“Why does one person believe in Jesus and not another?”
“Additional notes on the FACTS write-up: 7 point Arminianism.”
“I wish more Arminians were like Calvinists.”
“What is wrong with the Young, Restless and Reformed movement?”
“Calvinism on the horns: The problem of divine foreknowledge in Calvinism and why you should be an Arminian.”Keep up with more than just 4-year-old posts.
