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

"The reader. ..who wishes to be consistently biblical (Reformed) in his views should find this book a helpful historical and biblical study of an important, if not crucial, doctrine which affects not simply one's View Of preaching but also of evangelism and missions."
—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."
—Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly

"There is here the high ground of Protestant Reformed apologetic with chapters on Calvin, Turretin, and Kuyper. The author valiantly attempts to defend the urgency of mission preaching from the Hoeksema point of view."
—Calvin Theological Journal

Over het boek

Engelsma verdedigt met verve het Schriftuurlijke standpunt dat het verbond der genade met Christus als Hoofd, en in Hem met alle uitverkorenen, is opgericht. Hij verwerpt een algemeen 'aanbod' van genade, maar handhaaft dat het Evangelie met bevel van bekering en geloof gepredikt moet worden.

Het boek moet wel met enig onderscheidingsvermogen gelezen worden, want in sommige zaken volgen wij zijn zienswijze niet. Nochtans is het boek heel leerzaam!
