Publisher's By an accident of history in the 17th century five great Christian truths, formulated by successors of the Reformers at the Synod of Dort to counter a drift from the gospel, became linked with the name of the Genevan Reformer who had died half a century earlier. The label "Calvinism" was at first a propaganda tactic on the part of the opponents, but while defenders of the Reformation Faith recognized that it could well be called by another name they came to accept the term as denoting those doctrines which place man in entire dependence upon the free grace of God in salvation. ------- Since the Reformation there have been decades when interest in Calvinism seemed forgotten. Interest in this topic has onece again emerged and proponents are coming to the fore. This booklet from 1984 was written by W.J. Seaton to explain the five-point teaching of Calvinism.
