This Week in Calvinism - January 2, 2009

Happy New Year!

• Jeff Peterson introduces us to Arturo Azurdia, Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology and Director of Pastoral Mentoring at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. Presented here is his series on the five points of Calvinism (TULIP).
  
  
• Jono Smith on the lesson we can learn from Calvinist Charles Simeon.
  
  
• "Arminianism in diapers," an interesting post by Paul Manata on the eternal state of infants.
  
  
• The Earth Times lists some notable anniversaries coming up in 2009. Among them, of course, is the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth.
  
  
• To mark the occasion, Steven Carr will be blogging about Calvin's life and theology throughout the year.
  
  
• And if you'd like to join in the celebration, how about making your own John Calvin mask?
