Summary

Arising from the John 3:16 Conference held in late 2008 at First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Georgia, Whosoever Will presents a biblical-theological assessment of and response to five-point Calvinism. Baptist leaders offering an alternative to the doctrine's TULIP tenents include Paige Patterson (Total Depravity), Richard Land (Unconditional Election), David Allen (Limited Atonement), Steve Lemke (Irresistible Grace), and Kenneth Keathley (Perserverance of the Saints). The book also includes a series of articles on crucial theological and ministerial issues impacting Calvinism by Bruce Little ("Libertarian Free Will and the Problem of Evil"), Alan Streett ("A Defense of the Public Invitation"), Malcolm Yarnell ("Historical Baptist Ecclesiology and Calvinism"), and Kevin Kennedy ("Was Calvin a Calvinist?").
