Charles Spurgeon on Calvinism and Arminianism

Description

Charles Spurgeon’s convictions about Calvinism and Arminianism

Throughout the history of the church, there has been an unending controversy between the bondage of the will versus the freedom of the will, more commonly known as Calvinism versus Arminianism. This controversy has divided sincere Christians along a razor-sharp line. While this controversy doesn’t determine your salvation at all, this in-house debate does affect your core understanding of God and His word.

This book contains almost two hundred passages from Charles Spurgeon’s sermons and writings, expressing his deep convictions about Calvinism and Arminianism. While he was a mere man, we do well to carefully consider his convictions, being like the Bereans, “examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11). As Spurgeon would readily state, God’s word is first, foremost, and final when it comes to all doctrine and practice, no matter who or what we believe.

Besides learning about the historical and theological context of his day through these passages, you are also presented with the core issues when it comes to the irreconcilable difference between the bondage of the will versus the freedom of the will, helping you to better formulate and refine what you believe the Scriptures are teaching, whether you hold to Calvinism or Arminianism.
