Hyper-Calvinism and the Call of the Gospel: An Examination of the Well-Meant Offer
Is there a "well-meant offer" of salvation to all men? Or is the call of the gospel restricted to the elect only? Is there an alternative to these two extremes?
This book sets forth and defends the Reformed position of the gospel call to all mankind.

What others have said about Hyper-Calvinism and the Call of the Gospel
"Here is a clear statement from one of the most vigorous Reformed communities in North America. No serious study of the matter can avoid considering the Protestant Reformed perspective on the issue."
—Christian Observer
"This book is an opportunity to listen to a committed five-point Calvinist speaking to other five-point Calvinists about what he considers to be an extreme form of Calvinism on the one hand, and the free-will positions of Arminians, on the other. It is a fascinating book. I think it is well worth reading and having."
—Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society

—Vox Reformata
"A well-written defense of 'pure' Calvinism against the inroads of Arminianism.. .Anyone who is interested in reading a clear presentation of what pure Calvinism is can find it in this book."
