Moreover, in my experience, "limited atonement" is regularly misconstrued by all sides of the debate. The popular books on the 5 points of Calvinism often misrepresent Dort concerning particular redemption. For a look at the primary sources in the reformed tradition go here. | Can you be a little more direct? What in your view is the essence of the misrepresentation of Dort with respect to particular redemption?
