The Five Points of Calvinism, Part 1

This is Part 1 of a 2 part reading of R.L. Dabney's 'The Five Points of Calvinism.' In it Dabney explains in detail why as Spurgeon put it in his autobiography: 'It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel and nothing else.'

Part 1 contains Chapters 1-3 of his work:

i. INTRODUCTION

I. WHAT PRESBYTERIANS REALLY MEAN BY "ORIGINAL SIN," "TOTAL DEPRAVITY," AND "INABILITY OF THE WILL"

II. THE NATURE AND AGENCY OF THE MORAL REVOLUTION, NAMED EFFECTUAL CALLING OR REGENERATION.

III. GOD'S ELECTION.

PLEASE NOTE: The Announcement Clip, which we would recommend you listen to, is actually a brief 5 minute introduction to the life and work of R.L. Dabney, along with an explanation of why the reader does not agree with Dabney concerning a non-essential part of his doctrine of election - namely Dabney's belief that all people who die in infancy are elect.
