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.
- C. H. Spurgeon
- D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
- The Banner of Truth Trust
- D. James Kennedy’s Evangelism Explosion
- Inerrancy controversy
- Presbyterian Church in America
- J. I. Packer’s Knowing God
- R. C. Sproul and John MacArthur
- John Piper
- “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.”
