Summary

Welcome to the sixth episode of "Welcome to Reformed Theology." In this episode, Dale tackles some key questions about Calvinism: Is it biblical? Did it originate with John Calvin? And why do so many modern Christians wrestle with its concepts? Building on the last episode's discussion of God's sovereignty, this episode dives deeper into Calvinism—also known as the Doctrines of Grace—and its focus on God's sovereign control over salvation. Join us as we explore this vital attribute of God's throne, held uniquely and supremely by the one true God.
