Synopsis

A Refutation Of Calvinism: In Which, The Doctrines Of Original Sin, Grace, Regeneration, Justification, And Universal Redemption, Are Explained, And The Peculiar Tenets Maintained By Calvin Upon Those Points Are Proved To Be Contrary To Scripture, To The Writings Of The Antient Fathers Of The — George Tomline. This 19th-century Anglican polemic argues against Calvinist election and reprobation, insisting that salvation is universally offered to all who believe and is consistent with Scripture, the Thirty-Nine Articles, liturgy, and patristic witness. It frames Adam and Christ as universal representers of sin and salvation, and maintains that Jews and Gentiles alike may attain salvation through faith, while insisting that predestination is not unconditional. Foreknowledge is distinguished from coercion, and true predestination to life is conditional on faith and obedience. The work relies heavily on patristic authorities to defend free will, universal grace, and cooperative salvation within an Anglican framework, urging clergy to preach a coherent universal gospel and to resist determinism and legalism.
