This is an interesting topic, I'd like to think. Though this has some theological import for polemics, I think that the subject of Calvinism provides us with good philosophical discussion. For instance, the determinative versus the free will debate is one topic. One way in which one will look at the debate could be somewhat related to the problem of evil. However, I think my purpose here is to note the Biblical doctrine that describes the Christian God, which could also have more broadly philosophical discussions, like issues in epistemology, or "general ontology" — to borrow from James Porter Moreland.
The book that I've been reading on the subject is Dr. Beeke's "Living for God's Glory." Dr. Beeke's credentials are public and are known. So my attempt to make him a credible source would be overstressed, and frankly a waste of time.
In chapter one, he begins to outline the contours that capitulated the reformation of the 16th century. I will post more about the topic as I read more. Check back soon.
