This Week in Calvinism - June 15, 2018

• Was the Dutch Golden Age ushered in because of Calvinism, or in spite of it?
  
  
• Dr. Adam Harwood of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has this to say about LifeWay's new Christian Standard Bible:

• Sleep under God's sovereignty.

• Do Calvinists need to be more loving?
  
  
• Don't look for much Calvinism in the new film First Reformed.
