Calvin, the Canons of Dort, & T. W. Brents on Romans 8.29-30

Episode 447: Trey Fisher from the Parish Reformed and Aaron Gallagher from the Gospel Broadcasting Network had a debate a couple months. During the debate, Gallagher flubbed by claiming that the French reformer John Calvin wrote the Canons of Dort, a 17th century Dutch production in response to the Arminians. I briefly discuss this. Then, I examine a church of Christ work from yesteryear, The Gospel Plan of Salvation by T. W. Brents. However, as I demonstrate, this is mostly polemics against Calvinism. And unfortunately, the alleged “strong, lucid exegesis” that has been attributed to Brents is shown to be faulty at best.
