Kenneth J. Stewart, Ten Myths About Calvinism: Recovering the Breadth of the Reformed Tradition (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2011). $24.00, 302 pages. In Ten Myths About Calvinism, Kenneth J. Stewart skillfully dissects misinformation—sometimes, frankly, disinformation—commonly circulated about Calvinist theology and culture. (Stewart’s preferred term is Reformed, not Calvinist, although he uses the terms interchangeably. Indeed, this is the preference of most Calvinists.) Calvinist partisans perpetuate the first four myths: One man (Calvin) and one city (Geneva) are determinative (21–43) Calvin’s view of predestination must be ours (45–72) TULIP is the yardstick of the truly Reformed (75–96) Calvinists take a … Continue reading Ten Myths About Calvinism

From his July 10, 1858, speech in reply to Senator Stepehen A.Douglas: Now, it happens that we meet together once every year, sometime about the 4th of July, for some reason or other.

We run our memory back over the pages of history for … Continue reading Abraham Lincoln on the Meaning of July 4th
We meet to celebrate the birthday of America. The coming of a new life always excites our interest. Although we know in the case of the individual that it has been an infinite repetition reaching back beyond our vision, that only makes it the more wonderful. But how our interest and wonder increase when we behold the miracle of the birth of a new nation. It is to pay our tribute of reverence and respect to those who participated in such a mighty event that we annually observe the fourth day of July. Whatever may have been the impression created … Continue reading Calvin Coolidge’s “Speech on the Occasion of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence”
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their … Continue reading Declaration of Independence
