• Chapter 8: I have decent background knowledge of the differences between Calvinists and Armminists‚ but this chapter changed my thinking. The previous discussions and literature I have experienced have made Calvinists out to be irrational. This chapter appropriately represented the supporting and objecting arguments to both viewpoints.
