This Week in Calvinism - September 13, 2013

• "I think the whole TULIP thing is blasphemous, ugly, and gross." Well, there you have it. It's hard to argue with that kind of logic.
  
  
• My guess is the person who made the statement above isn't even familiar with the caricature of Calvinism, much less the actual teachings of Calvinism.
  
  
• The very university founded by John Calvin is offering an online course next month on Calvin's historical and theological influence. Regarding his theology, the course aims to "show both his lasting contribution (especially his understanding of a God in whom one may trust) as well as the limitations of his thought (for instance his doctrine of predestination)."
  
  
• Shane Kastler wraps up his sermon series entitled "Misconceptions About Calvinism."
  
  
• Mathew Gilbert begins his own series of blog posts on TULIP.
