As one surrounded by Calvinists (mostly of the Piper persuasion), I thank you for such clear explanation and yet great detail of how we got to the common misconceptions about predestination, providence, and grace. I am seeing that much of the disagreement among lay folks like me comes from a failure to define terms and rectify them with other terms or truths.
Chris, I greatly appreciate this comment. I do plan to return to these letters. Today marks my return to Leibniz, which needs to be done and submitted to the press by August. So be watching for those posts. Once done, I'll return to some of these incomplete series, this one on predestination being the first in line. Spoiler: I'm thinking of compiling the four parts into a short book on the topic, so be watching for that as well.

I'm so thankful for this series. Please continue to write these letters. I know you have a lot on your plate, however.
