This book sets forth and defends the Reformed doctrine of the call of the gospel against the hyper-Calvinistic restriction of the call, on the one hand, and the Arminian universalizing of grace in a well-meant offer, on the other hand. This issue is very much alive in Calvinistic circles today. In eight closely reasoned chapters, Engelsma presents his case by covering such things as hyper-Calvinism (which he correctly defines as a denial of human responsibility); the well-meant offer of the gospel (which he points out is not to be confused with the promiscuous call of the gospel to sinners to repent and believe, which he favors); Calvins doctrine of the call of the gospel; Turretins doctrine of the will of God; Kuypers doctrine of particular grace,...and the so-called universalistic texts...Vox Reformata
