ST305: Two Views on the Five Points of Calvinism

This episode presents the opening segments of a formal theological debate titled "Debating Calvinism: Five Points, Two Views," featuring a systematic exchange between James White, who affirms the Reformed position, and Dave Hunt, who denies it. The text functions as a point-counterpoint dialogue focused on the doctrines of grace, specifically exploring the sovereignty of God, the total inability of man, and unconditional election. White utilizes contextual exegesis and historical confessions to argue that salvation is an entirely monergistic work of God, while Hunt identifies these views as a libel against God's character that ignores human responsibility and the universality of divine love. Through alternating chapters of affirmation, response, and defense, the source aims to challenge readers to test their traditions against Scripture while highlighting the deep-seated tensions between divine determinism and human free will.
