“Then suddenly—or so it seemed to me—in the past two years Calvinism began emerging as an issue everywhere. Perhaps I am just waking up, but it seems to me that this peculiar doctrine is being promoted far more widely and aggressively now than I was ever aware in the past.4”
Jerry L. Walls, Why I Am Not a Calvinist

“Since Protestant theology makes no claim that the Bible is crystal clear beyond that minimal knowledge necessary for salvation, it implicitly acknowledges that Christians may differ without having to accuse each other of intellectual weakness or moral corruption.”
Jerry L. Walls, Why I Am Not a Calvinist

“Life, laughter, and pleasure will be the last word rather than death, crying, and pain.”
Jerry L. Walls, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory: Rethinking the Things That Matter Most
