but this is Godel, as all of you knew anyway.
I was not a math major!
In this book, Dr. Jackson provides a sober critique of UOJ showing how it is wrong exegetically and spurious historically. UOJ gets its cue from a rational handling of Scripture, a Calvinistic theological method. As an ex-Calvinist myself, I find it amusing how UOJ defenders label its critics Calvinists. In truth, UOJ is Calvinistic for in the same way that Calvinism equates the Atonement with Justification, UOJ proponents do the same. Calvinists seeing the Atonement and Justification the same and seeing that Justification does not happen for all, concludes the Atonement has not happened for all. UOJ does the same but in the reverse, seeing that the Atonement happened for all, it concludes that Justification has already happened for all, hence, without faith, prior to faith and before faith without the Means of Grace. This book will help the reader understand the Scriptural teaching and Lutheran belief that justification never happens to anyone with out the Means of Grace.

Thanks for posting this, that is my solid conviction ---that UOJ is actually the one that is Calvinistic! It is rationalistic and not Biblical, it has a wrong way of looking at faith.
In my skirmishes with ex-Calvinists who have become Waltherians, I often tell them - when St Paul told the jailer to believe on the Lord Jesus and he and his household would be saved, was St Paul teaching that faith is a work the jailer can do?
Do they answer me? No. They just skip it as if I did not say it. Ugly indeed, you can not talk to them sensibly.
BTW, the picture of course is not mine though, like Godel, I am now starting to have strands of white hair.
Still managing to not use my glasses in most cases when working on the computer.
