C H Spurgeon does not just rebut the age-old arguments against Calvinism, but emphasizes the importance of ‘sound words.’ Briefly and winsomely he lays out a robust case for the doctrines of grace. The fly in the ointment is the mistaken reference to hyper-calvinism, but this is one page that can be passed over. The final flourish on christian obedience is worth a hearty amen.
