Calvinism in Four Doctrines
Captions available
The idea
The Puritans were strict Calvinists, and the anchor gives the core: God is all-powerful and completely sovereign, all humans are naturally depraved, and God elects only a few for salvation. Grace cannot be earned. Everything a Puritan wrote sits inside those propositions.
In practice
Sovereignty, depravity, election, unearned grace.
Where people slip
Election is God's choice, never a reward.
