Session B, Lesson 2: What Calvinism Is

In this lesson, we slow down and do something that is often skipped in theological debates: we define our terms. Before Calvinism can be defended or challenged, it must be clearly and honestly explained. This session offers a plain, straightforward definition of Calvinism, examines what it claims about God, salvation, and human responsibility, and then considers what those claims actually produce in doctrine, evangelism, and Christian assurance. Rather than attacking people, this lesson evaluates a system by allowing Scripture to speak plainly. Using clear biblical passages and careful reasoning, this episode lays the foundation for the lessons that follow, helping listeners understand why definitions matter and why theology must always bow to the Word of God.
