Simply By Grace Podcast

In this episode, we talk about what is Calvinism, how Calvinistic John Calvin (1509-1564) was, and the Calvinism of the Synod of Dort (1618-1619). We discuss Calvinism that is taught today and why it has become so popular and how it has shaped the Southern Baptist Convention. There are unfortunate consequences for one’s assurance of salvation, the clarity of the gospel, and evangelism. David Allen (PhD, University of Texas) serves at Mid-America Seminary (Memphis) as the Dean of the Adrian Rogers Center for Preaching and is the Distinguished Professor of Preaching. Before that, he served 18 years at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the theology and preaching departments. He served as the senior pastor of two churches for 21 years and has been a teacher of preachers for more than 25 years. He has written many books available on Amazon and elsewhere. Referred to in this episode are his book on The Extent of the Atonement, The Atonement, and his contribution to Calvinism: A Biblical and Theological Critique.
