The Gnostic Origins of Calvinism

By: Ken Johnson

Narrated by: Drew Baker

Most people have heard of Calvinism and Arminianism, and most know there are many problems with the extreme forms, hyper-Calvinism and hyper-Arminianism. But what did John Calvin really teach and where did his ideas come from? Learn the true Gnostic origins of Calvinism from the ancient church fathers and compare Scripture with Scripture to clearly see the trap Satan has set to divide Bible-believing Christians.

Examine the doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints, along with predestination, foreknowledge, replacement theology, and Amillennialism. Find answers from the Bible, ancient church fathers, and the political history of the 16th century Europe.

must read if struggling with Calvinism

Should read even if you have made up your mind. This is the best, and shortest, book I know on this topic. Instead of philosophizing he goes to the early church fathers, who were taught by the disciples for their teaching on the subject, and he also explains the context in the middle ages. Listened first and then bought as a reference.

Eye-Opening

This is an incredible whirlwind of revelatory truth unveiling the mysteries of Calvinist thought and it's nefarious origins. It is very densely packed and somewhat hard to follow in an audio format due to so much information being loaded.into evety sentence. I will definitely be looking to buy the hard copy. But the content is invaluable for any seeking the historical truths surrounding this topic and delivered in a very straight forward manner.

When did Calvinism creep into the church?

Fantastic review of what early church fathers taught vs the heresies that started to creep into the church.

Very Informative

Ken Johnson, as always, has shared his extensive biblical knowledge and given insight into what scripture clearly states and what our church fathers and the contemporaries of Jesus believed. Excellent information and superb narration. And regarding narration…it’s so important. Even if an author has an excellent book all is lost if the narrator is hard to listen to. This narrator was excellent is every way, letting Ken’s research and knowledge go gently, pleasantly and unobtrusively to this listener/learner’s ears.

Another Great work from Dr. Ken Johnson
