Author's New Release Takes Fresh Look at Calvinism

Author's new book cuts through the controversy to promote a unified view within Church.

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- When it comes to Calvinist issues, there is a great deal of controversy. J.A. Sturley's newly released book, 'Help! I Don't Understand What Is Happening to My Church… A Layman's Field Guide to Calvinist Controversy' (paperback, 978-1-60477-004-9), examines Calvinism by taking a new and fresh look at an old and always hot topic. Loaded with Scripture and quoting from various Calvinist and non-Calvinist authors, it explores the following: Calvinism's history, why it causes problems for many believers, various interpretations of election/predestination, free will, God's sovereignty and man's salvation, the decrees of God, early church thinking, insights from Greek grammar, the interpretation of various Bible passages, the atonement, infant salvation, and more.

Says Sturley, "The book provides a lot of concise information on this issue in one volume. The book takes a brief yet comprehensive approach in dealing with all sorts of ramifications to Calvinist questions."

A Southern California native, the author was formally trained in theology and Christian ministry at Highland Bible Presbyterian College, Los Angeles Baptist College, and Talbot Theological Seminary. His years of experience in the controversy--coupled with his education and years of ministry experience--created within him a desire to write a book promoting unity within the church. And, says the author, "I desire to exercise Christian humbleness of heart in discussing this issue among Christian brothers and sisters."

Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 5,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order 'Help! I Don't Understand What Is Happening to My Church…' through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
