http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-82-dr-oliver-crisp-on-libertarian-calvinism-and-universalism/ In this interview, Dr. Oliver Crisp and I continue to discuss his explorations of the boundaries of Reformed tradition. His comments are, as usual, candid, creative, and insightful. Can a Calvinist consistently believe that humans have hat philosophers call "libertarian" freedom? In his Deviant Calvinism (kindle), Dr. Crisp suggests that a Calvinist can, although he doesn't himself believe in libertarian freedom. And what about universalism, the doctrine that eventually, all saved? If as Augustinians and Calvinists think, salvation is 100% God's doing, and God is wholly good, mustn't he then save all? Some have argued from universalism based on a few passages in the New Testament and/or by making philosophical arguments. As a Calvinist, Dr. Crisp feels the pull of universalism, but resists it for biblical reasons.
