Troubling Questions for Calvinists
What are the hard questions typically never asked by Calvinists?
Why do so many Calvinists live as if they were not Calvinists, and so many non-Calvinists live as if they were?
Is it really possible to be just a three-point or two-point Calvinist?
In what ways does the problem of sin challenge even non-Calvinists?
Do we sin because we are sinners, or are we sinners because we sin?
Is it possible to live without sinning?
Troubling Questions for Calvinists is uniquely designed to ask the hard questions that rarely seem to be addressed about one of religion's most popular belief systems. Even Calvinism's milder forms raise troubling questions about the nature of God, Christ's atoning death, and the nature of man.
Yet, non-Calvinists often share many of the same assumptions underlying Calvinism, such as the doctrine of original sin, innate depravity, and the impossibility of falling way from faith. Can those doctrines withstand close scrutiny?

Great read. I have not read anything from LaGard Smith for a long time and it was great to read from him again. I found his arguments to be respectful and up front. Clear and concise.

This is clearly written and logically sound. If you’re confused by any seeming contradictions in the Bible or if you’re half in half out on Calvinism then this book is for you. LaGard destroys the false assumptions and poor logic found in Calvins theology in a very winsome way. Completely cleared up many dilemmas I had with Calvinism and Arminianism. I came away with a greater appreciation for my salvation. One of the best and one of the most helpful books I’ve ever read.
