Getting the Gospel Right: A Balanced View of Calvinism and Arminianism

A unique theology of salvation taking a middle position between Calvinism and Arminianism, thus resolving the 4-century conflict. An inductive approach to the Bible is emphasized, utilizing careful word studies of the original Hebrew and Greek, considering the context of each of 1000 passages. This greatly improved 3rd edition is updated with new research and thoroughly revised and reorganized, including four new chapters. Scholarly material is put in footnotes and excursuses so that the text remains terse and readable, even for laypeople. The basis of salvation in the Old Testament is first examined in a progressive way; then the terms of salvation are clarified. The four chapters defending eternal security include a simple explanation of Hebrews 6 and John 15. Seven chapters critique Calvinism, especially focusing on word studies of foreknowledge, 'election,' and foreordination. Lastly, the historical, missiological, and rational support for a mediate view is examined. Author Tim LaHaye wrote the foreword, highly commending this work. Other outstanding theologians, such as Earl Radmacher and John F. Walvoord have also endorsed it.

Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism: An Inductive Mediate Theology of Salvation

Veteran missionary/missiologist C. Gordon Olson has distilled the essential facts of the Christian missions movement to produce an introductory text for all Christians, with the goal of developing world Christians. It is marked by balance between theory and practice and has become a standard text in Christian universities, seminaries, and colleges for almost three decades in seven editions. It covers five dimensions of world missions: the biblical basis studied chronologically; the history of the missions movement, including discovery of virtually unknown background of modern missions; a unique summary of world religions; a contemporary overview of missions with 2010 statistics; and the functional importance of mission agencies. It emphasizes vignettes of key missions personalities and includes 50 unique graphics. It is endorsed by many outstanding leaders in the evangelical missions movement, including David J. Hesselgrave, Marvin J. Newell, Steve Saint, Greg H. Parsons, and Robertson McQuilkin.
