Hello and welcome to Sociology 101. As you can see, we have Lewis Regerio back with us today. Welcome back, Lewis. Thanks for joining me.

Thank you, Dr. Flowers. Thanks for having me.

Well, as you may remember, we've had Lewis on before, and he has written a book. Lewis, tell us a little bit about your book one more time for those who are maybe just tuning in and learning about your ministry and your work.

Well, the book which published back in 2010 is titled, entitled The God of Calvinism of Rebutter of Reform theology.

Based on about 10, 15 years that I've had to study Calvinism and try to kind of debunk or respond to some of the arguments that Calvinists make regarding Tulip.

salvation. And that condition is clearly faith in Christ Jesus. So we're not saved by our own

righteousness. We're saved by the righteousness of Christ. But when we're talking about the

doctrine of unconditional election, we're specifically talking about the you in the tulip.
