Does Calvinism excuse sinners and make God guilty? Guillaume Bignon & Paul Franks
Summary: <p>Calvinist theology holds that everything is pre-ordained by God. Critics say that such a deterministic view makes God morally responsible for evil and means that sinners can’t be blamed for their wrongdoing – after all they were predestined to do it. <br><br>Guilluame Bignon, a French convert to Christianity who is now a Calvinist philosopher/theologian, seeks to answer these questions in his new book Excusing Sinners and Blaming God: A Calvinist Assessment of Determinism, Moral Responsibility, and Divine Involvement in Evil. He engages W Paul Franks of Tyndale University College, Toronto on the issues, who holds to a Wesleyan/ Arminian view of libertarian freedom. <br><br>For Guillaume Bignon’s book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Excusing-Sinners-Blaming-God-Responsibility/dp/1532618654">https://www.amazon.com/Excusing-Sinners-Blaming-God-Responsibility/dp/1532618654 </a> <br><br> For W Paul Franks: <a href="http://wpaulfranks.com/">http://wpaulfranks.com/ </a> <br><br> For Unbelievable? the Conference 2018: <a href="http://www.premier.org.uk/justask">http://www.premier.org.uk/justask </a> <br><br> Get signed copies of Unbelievable? the book and audiobook: <a href="http://www.unbelievablebook.co.uk">www.unbelievablebook.co.uk </a> <br> Get Unbelievable? the Conference 2017 DVD/CD & Digital Download: <a href="http://www.premier.org.uk/shop">http://www.premier.org.uk/shop </a> <br> For more faith debates visit <a href="http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable">http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable</a> <br> Join the conversation: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UnbelievableJB">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/unbelievablejb">Twitter</a> <br> Get the MP3 Podcast of Unbelievable?
