I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are surely and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus. By this truth I make a pilgrimage into the past, and as I go, I see father after father, confessor after confessor, martyr after martyr, standing up to shake hands with me. Were I a Pelagian, or a believer in the doctrine of free-will, I should have to walk for centuries all alone. Here and there a heretic, of no very honorable character, might rise up and call me brother. But taking these things to be the standard of my faith, I see the land of the ancients peopled with my brethren; I behold multitudes who confess the same as I do, and acknowledge that this is the religion of God's own church.'' - Charles H. Spurgeon | |||
Revision as of 08:15, 25 January 2006
Dave Hunt, born in 1926, is a Christian apologist, speaker, radio commentator and author. He has been in full-time ministry since 1973 with his organization, The Berean Call. Hunt has traveled to the Near East, lived in Egypt, and written numerous books on theology, prophecy, cults, and other religions. His books have sold over 4 million copies and have been translated into at least 20 languages. Hunt is associated with the Plymouth Brethren Movement, but claims only the Bible as his ultimate authority.
Theologically, Hunt is evangelical, dispensational and Arminian. A controversial figure, he is the author of critical works on Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, and Calvinism, among others.
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.
