From the Protestant Reformation to the Southern Baptist Convention: What Hath Geneva to Do with Nashville?
Overview
From the Protestant Reformation to the SBC uses a historical argument in order to make that theological point. Tom Ascol traces the development of Baptist doctrines, discussing what Baptist forefathers believed and taught about the nature of God’s saving grace. In bringing to light their doctrinal views, exegesis, and exposition, Ascol seeks to reacquaint Baptists with their rich theological heritage which offers lessons for charting a God-glorifying course for the future.

“When Calvin died in 1564, Jacob Arminius was four years old. He grew up to become a student of Theodore Beza, who was Calvin’s successor at Geneva. In the course of preparing a defense of his teacher’s view of predestination, Arminius became convinced of the opposing position. He went on to reject unconditional election and predestination and taught instead that God elects people based on His foreknowledge that they will exercise faith in Christ.” (Page 19)
“The Bible teaches both that fallen man is without spiritual ability and that he is obligated to repent and believe. Only by the powerful, regenerating work of the Holy Spirit is man given the ability to fulfill his duty to repent and believe.’” (Pages 23–24)
“T-U-L-I-P—Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace and Perseverance of the Saints.” (Page 22)
