Myth Busters: Calvinist Edition

I've been looking forward to, and have now begun reading, Ken Stewart's new book, Ten Myths About Calvinism: Recovering the Breadth of the Reformed Tradition (IVP, 2011). Professor Stewart is a careful historian whose work frequently informs and provokes.


Here are his ten myths:


Part 1: Four Myths Calvinists Should Not Be Circulating (But Are)

1 One Man (Calvin) and One City (Geneva) Are Determinative

2 Calvin's View of Predestination Must Be Ours

3 TULIP is the Yardstick of the Truly Reformed

4 Calvinists Take a Dim View of Revival and Awakening


Part 2: Six Myths Non-Calvinists Should Not Be Circulating (But Are)

5 Calvinism Is Largely Antimissionary

6 Calvinism Promotes Antinomianism

7 Calvinism Leads to Theocracy

8 Calvinism Undermines the Creative Arts

9 Calvinism Resists Gender Equality

10 Calvinism Has Fostered Racial Inequality


TGC has posted a couple of pieces by Stewart on two of the myths:
