Highly Recommend

For those who are wanting a greater understanding of the New Testament Church I highly recommend "The Church in the New Testament" by Kevin J. Conner. He self titles himself as a trinitarian however his writings show how he has an understanding of the Mighty God in Christ. He also baptizes in the name of Jesus. The only caution is that if you are not into studios writings and a lot of scripture reference then you should not read his book.

I recommend "A Knowledge of the Holy" by A.W. Tozer. I recently read it for the first time I trembled in the presence of truth. My prayer time hasn't been the same since.

I second your recommendation!


I loved Humility by Andrew Murray and The Battlefield of the Mind devotional by Joyce Meyer.

Thanks for you guys recommendation. If ya'll like Tozer them you should check out the internet site Sermon Index. It has over 500 audio sermons in mp3 form of Tozer. Although these sermons were recorded more then 50 yrs ago the quality is surprisingly good.

Keep the Faith!

Reformed,

I'm studying various theological systems in school and have been learning about Calvinism. Could you recommend three books on it that increase in complexity from a primer, to moderate, to techinical that describes Calvinism? Also, what would you recommend as the best book that argues against Arminianism?

Thanks Brian for the info about Tozer. I'll check that out. Maybe i'll "borrow" some of his stuff. I suspect I wouldn't be the first. haha.

Wow! Tough call.

1) Easy and short-RC Sproul- 'Chosen to Believe' (I think that's the title), Also John Gerstner's "Primer on the Free Will"

2) Moderate- Loraine Boettner- 'Doctrine of Predestination', Martin Luther's "Bondage of the Will" (Considered his finest work. Great read as ML was a salty guy)

3) The best 2 rigorous defenses that I know of are 'The Death of Death in the Death of Christ' by John Owen, and my #1 is "Freedom of the Will" by Jonathan Edwards. In my knowledge both of these treaties have never been successfully refuted.

The above deal primarily with the 'five point' and not Calvinism as a whole system. The best is still Calvin's 'Institutes'. Very logical, warm, and pastoral. One can drink deeply from it.

Thanks Dave. I appreciate the recommendations.

Can you recommend an article or paper or book that breaks down Arminianism, exposing its weaknesses from a Calvinist perspective?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Let me get this right. A_POMO, you and ReformedDave favor the beliefs of Calvinism?
