2. Evangelicals Find Themselves in the Midst of a Calvinist Revival: By Mark Oppenheimer - Oppenheimer notes: “Evangelicalism is in the midst of a Calvinist revival. Increasing numbers of preachers and professors teach the views of the 16th-century French reformer. Mark Driscoll, John Piper and Tim Keller — megachurch preachers and important evangelical authors — are all Calvinist.”As soon as you add to Scripture and its effect in the church, you subtract from it; that is to say, I am a Christian, not a Calvinist. Thus, I follow JD (Joshua Davidson), not JC (John Calvin). Calvin's views were of his time, and persona...dangerous to think that they are uncritically determinist of what theology and church should be now.
I'd prefer a theology that dealt with the entire Bible, avoiding the special pleading that Calvinists must engage in to avoid the implications of those parts of scripture that contradict their theology.
