The Potter's Freedom: A Defense of the Reformation and the Rebuttal of Norman Geisler's Chosen But Free

If you are wanting to learn what the debate between Arminianism and Calvinism is about, then first get Geisler's book, Chosen But Free, then read White's, The Potter's Freedom.It will become clear that one side is philosophical and refuses to interact with the other, and simply assumes proof texts for its position. The other side actually deals with the text of Scripture first, then comes to philosophical conclusions.I have found this to be very typical in every debate I have either listened to or read. I think the open minded reader, who loves to exegete the Word of God, will appreciate White's work.Buy both books and enjoy.God BlessHoward Fisher

I never knew who Dr. Norman Geisler was before reading The Potter's Freedom(TPF). TPF gives insight into Geisler's background and of course his theology. Surprigingly Geisler gives 'new' meaning to historical Calvinism, I don't know if other Arminian theologians even attempt to do the same. TPF doesn't just make a claim, give a verse and then briefly comments on that verse (as do many Arminian writers). But, like most all Reformed Christians TPF gives an historical stance on a Doctrine then actually exegetes the verses that teach the Doctrine. To say that God Loves everybody and then quote John 3:16 is one thing, but to turn John 6:37,44; Romans 8 and 9 on their head and say that they in no way teach depravity, irresistible grace, predestination is downright ignorant. Sadly, this is what much of the Christian community now stands on. Fortunately, TPF stands on rightly dividing the Word of God.Highly recommend this book for the avid and patient reader.

The Potter's Freedom is an excellent explanation of the differences contained within Arminian and Calvinistic theology.James White's easy to read book reveals the heart of NormanGeisler's book "Chosen But Free". James White uses excerpts from Norman Geisler's book and clearly contrasts the differences between the two major theological sides throughout history. This book is very good at helping the reader clearly define their own theological persuasion as they consider the depths of the Sovereignty of God. A theological treatise without the difficultreading that you would find in Jonathan Edwards' work.

Dr. James R. White does an absolutely incredible job of refuting Norman Geisler's fallacious claims regarding what we now refer to as Calvinism.Whether you are a searching Arminian, or a long-time Reformer, this book will educate and edify you as well as direct you into Scriptural truth.Dr. White is an expert in exegesis, and he writes proficiently, explaining the truth behind verses like 2 Peter 3:9 and others that have been grossly misused by Geisler.He also takes a philosophical and historical look into traditional Calvinism, and expounds upon the truths beautifully in this arena too.I STRONGLY suggest this book.
