Hi:

This is an old argument started by R.T. Kendall's book, "Calvin and English Calvinism to 1649." Paul Helm adequately answers the charge that "Calvinists do not truly follow Calvin," in his book, "Calvin and the Calvinists."

Kendall's argument is appreciated among those who are in antipathy to Calvinsim. I think Gerstner picked up the argument and walked with it for a few miles. These books are probably good to read in order to know what the other side is saying.

Just my
