Tim Challies: Where Did All These Calvinists Come From? A Visual History


I don’t think anyone could have predicted that in the twenty-first century the old doctrine of Calvinism would suddenly experience a great resurgence. Yet this is exactly what has happened. The New Calvinism, or the Young, Restless, Reformed, has been highlighted in platforms as diverse as Christianity Today and TIME as one of the ideas that is changing the world today. It has been a major emphasis in publishing and has its own celebrities, conferences and organizations.

But where did this thing come from? And how did it come to prominence? Josh Byers and I have teamed up to bring you a Visual Theology infographic we’ve titled Where Did All These Calvinists Come From?: A Visual History. We highlighted some of the dominant themes in the movement and then progressed through the people, the books, the conferences, and the organizations that have made it what it is. We hope you enjoy it. Keep reading

The NWO is creating them to help it wipe Christianity out. Everyone knows Calvinism causes massive amounts of Christians to turn atheist. And atheists, of course, support the New World Order. Basic math. More Calvinists = more atheists = more supporters for the NWO. So the NWO is capitalizing on this winning formula and funding Calvinist mega-pastors.

To put it in simple terms anyone can understand, Sproul and Piper and Driscoll, and all the various Calvinist alphabet ministries, work for and are funded by the NWO.
