Limiting Omnipotence: The Consequences of Calvinism- A Study of Critical Issues in Reformed and Dispensational Theology

by David Dunlap

Does theology have consequences? The answer must be a resounding: YES! The theological schools of Calvinism and dispensationalism both influence our understanding of important doctrines in the Bible. No Christian can afford to neglect the impact these doctrinal positions have had upon the church.

This book contrasts crucial issues in the Calvinist and dispensational debate today. Its major focus is the consequences of Calvinism. Limiting Omnipotence argues that Calvinism is not limited to the area of election alone, but touches nearly every aspect of Christian life and doctrine.
The aim of this book is not to be overly critical but Bible-based, gracious and fair. Nevertheless, due to differences, biblical and doctrinal criticism will necessarily appear. Some topics that are discussed include:

*Is God the author of sin?
*Is God the author of sin?
*The sovereignty of God
*"One-naturism"
*Dispensationalism and antinomianism
*What does the bible teach about election?

Limiting Omnipotence discusses these issues in a language that any layman can understand, quoting freely from the Scripture and from the writings of evangelical leaders, both past and present.
