Doug Wilson, Mark Talbot, and Sam Storms—3 speakers at our upcoming conference—answer the question, "Why was Calvin controversial?"

Doug Wilson

Calvin is controversial for the same reason Athanasius or the Apostle Paul was: He was a faithful servant in a fallen world.

Mark Talbot

Calvin is controversial because any time you clearly speak Christian truth, you will necessarily arouse opposition.

Finally, Calvin is controversial because of us, his followers. We are often harsh and narrow and unloving, when we should be winsome and loving.
