Dr. Jeffrey E. Greenway, a UMC Pastor gives a review of the Wesley Study Bible. He comments on the Calvinist resurgence. "In my opinion, the trend of the majority of modern evangelicalism has a Calvinist/Reformed bent...However, I also believe that the world and culture in which most of us find ourselves is ripe for a resurgence of a Wesleyan approach to faith and practice."
Looks like Bill O'Reilly is not a Calvinist. In this video he mentions (in passing) some of the problems of Calvinism. Go to 2:45 for the pithy version. (HT: Contemporary Calvinist)
Blogger Peter Churcher is doing a series called "Out of the Closet", where he gives his reasons for holding to certain doctrines. In this post he explains why he is an Arminian. "Arminianism is a belief in God's grace first and foremost, with an acceptance of our God given free will and responsibility. Arminianism is the belief that we are all spiritually blind and are in need to God's grace."
William Birch gives three reasons why Calvinism should be rejected: Historical Verity Belongs to Arminianism, God is to be Glorified, and Scripture and the Significance of Hermeneutics.
According to Nick Norelli, Christian radio hosts James White (Calvinist) and Michael Brown (Arminian) are looking into a possible debate.

Hurrah! I made the list. A little sad by I genuinely feel excited and honoured. Thanks.
Interesting review of the Wesleyan Study Bible. I don't care for the study Bible itself. Too liberal for my taste.
Peter, sure, any time. :)
Roy, understandable! Hope the preaching went well for you today.
