Calvinism

Books The Doctrines of Grace

The theology of the great Reformer, John Calvin (1509-1564), is the foundation of the confessional standards of Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Both Calvin's theology and modern Reformed theology address most of the categories of systematic theology. However, in the area of soteriology, or the doctrine of salvation, it is common to summarize Calvinism under five topics: total depravity, uconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints, the famous TULIP. This page contains a number of papers explaining and defending these five doctrines.
