Have you ever encountered a Christian whose representation of God struck you as - cruel? In all likelihood, that Christian was Reformed. Christian thought is varied, but among those Christians who take their Bibles seriously, there are two main threads of Christian thought. One is the Calvinist (also called Reformed) camp. It is named after John Calvin, a 16th century French theologian. The other camp is the Arminian camp, named after Jacobus Arminius, a Dutch theologian who lived shortly after Calvin. Christians have been arguing over these two competing views for centuries. Often, non-Christians and Arminians find Reformed theology depicts God as capricious or uncaring. Reformed Christians believe other Christians are unscriptural in their beliefs. Is there an answer to Reformed theology? Clay was once Reformed in his theology and attends a Reformed Church, but he believes both Reformed and Arminian Christians have only a part of the truth. With compassion and an appeal to tolerance and humility, he attempts to take believer and unbeliever, Calvinist and Arminian, through the Bible to a third path.
