**In an eloquent defense of Calvinist theology, author and professor Michael Horton invites us to explore the teachings of Calvinism—also commonly known as Reformed theology—by showing how it is biblical and Christ-centered, leading us to live our lives for the glory of God.** The system of theology known as Calvinism has been immensely influential for the past five hundred years, but it’s often encountered negatively as a fatalistic belief system that confines human freedom and renders human action and choice irrelevant. Taking us beyond the caricatures and typical reactions, *For Calvinism* : * Explores the historical roots of Reformed thought. * Delivers the essence of Calvinism, examining its distinctive characteristics, such as election, atonement, effectual calling, and perseverance. * Encourages us to consider its rich resources for faith and practice in the present age. As a companion to Roger Olson’s *Against Calvinism* critique and response, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.
