Dave Hunt addressed Calvinism in a book called What Love is This? Calvinism's Misrepresentation of God, published in 2002 and revised in 2004, which became one of his most controversial works. According to Calvinists, the book is inaccurate and misrepresentative of Calvinism. Hunt makes direct use of Calvinistic sources, such as Charles Spurgeon, but quotes them in ways that have been considered selective and misleading.

In A Woman Rides the Beast, he identifies the Roman Catholic Church as the Whore of Babylon from the prophecies in chapters 17 and 18 of the Book of Revelation, which has been a long-held tradition among many non-Catholic Christians and gained almost universal acceptance among the Reformers. Catholics, and even many modern-day evangelicals vehemently dispute this claim.
