Calvinism: An Address Delivered at St. Andrew’s

In this address, James Anthony Froude speaks on the state of nineteenth century Calvinism in Scotland. He acknowledges the “change of tone throughout Europe and America” toward Calvinism, as it had been newly discredited by liberal theologians and lost mainstream acceptance in Europe. Nonetheless, he argues for a bright future for Calvinism. In this address, he confronts popular and philosophical skeptics, and constructs a sweeping history of Calvinism in the context of Western thought.
