Mark Dever just finished an insightful ten-part series of blog posts entitled “Where’d All These Calvinists Come From?” He gives ten major reasons for the recent resurgence of Calvinism.

1. C. H. Spurgeon
2. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
3. The Banner of Truth Trust
4. D. James Kennedy’s Evangelism Explosion
   
5. Inerrancy controversy
6. Presbyterian Church in America
7. J. I. Packer’s Knowing God
8. R. C. Sproul and John MacArthur
9. John Piper
10. “the rise of secularism and decline of Christian nominalism“

Before Dever posted reason #10, Justin Taylor suggested that it would be “the role of the internet.”

Cf. Phil Gons‘s summary post, “The Resurgence of Calvinism.”
