Calvin's God is morally responsible for and guilty of all evil. Besides, there is no such thing as 'knowledge' in the theological determinism of Calvin. These are some of the philosophical problems of Calvinism. Additionally, the Five Points of Calvinism have no foundation in Scripture, as Bair shows carefully.

This book does not get 5 stars because of the many repetitions throughout the book and his word use could sometimes be a bit milder in my opinion.

Overall, this book succeeds in defeating Calvin's teachings on exhaustive divine determinism altogether.

Although 'Phil Bair ' uses the NIV throughout this book, it is still absolutely worth getting.
The fact that you can even Refute ' Calvinism' from the NIV should be interesting to anyone who uses the KJV.
Phil Bairs book is excellent, and I will definitely be reading it again soon. !!

exposes double think

Shows the logical flaws in Calvinist determinism. Gracious, but blunt in challenging a confused view of God. The self-defeating nature of EDD was the biggest insight for me.
