This looks like an interesting project: a documentary film on Calvinism.

The "Calvinist" promo reminds me in some ways of Piper's poem "The Calvinist." Remember that one?
It seems that the recent resurgence in Calvinism focuses so much on the "Five Points" that it fails to take into consideration the broader teachings of Calvinism, such as in the area of ecclesiology.
It needs a new name: "I am a neo-calvinist"

The Calvinist, by John Piper: http://www.desiringgod.org/calvinist
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the two are similar.
I share the concerns with commercializing Calvinism, but also hope that some good may come of it.
At any rate, it is interesting to see the recent "Reformed" documentaries (Spurgeon, MLJ).

Let's just say that Piper is better off sticking with his day job.
In past PB discussions, if memory serves, we have differentiated between the confessional Reformed (Presbyterian or Baptist, though that too is sometimes a point of debate!) and the "new Calvinists" or "neo-Calvinists."
I think his main focus is to encourage Calvinists to further reform their reformed Theology. In the end, I think he wants to show that there is more to "TULIP" in regards to Calvinism.

Then again, isn't there also a difference historically between Neo-Calvinism and New Calvinism? When I think of Neo-Calvinism, I think of Kuyper and Bavinck, not Chandler and Mahaney.

I think that's being too generous. The resurgence of Calvinism focuses really on a handful of celebrity personalities that espouse "Calvinism" regardless of whether that's borne out in their teaching and church practice. Along with this is the trend of any teaching or practice that is not historically Reformed magically becoming so simply by recieving the imprimatur a professional "reformed" conference speaker/mega-church pastor.
Mr. Lanphere and I worship at the same church plant, we are good friends, and we live about 2 minutes away from each other. I definitely think what he desires to do is much needed. I may be wrong, but from talking to him, I think his main focus is to encourage Calvinists to further reform their reformed Theology. In the end, I think he wants to show that there is more to "TULIP" in regards to Calvinism. He wants to lead people in confessional reformed Theology. We worship at a means of grace PCA, we strive to uphold the Lord's Day, we are very confessional, etc. In the past few years, I think he has experienced true confessional reformed Theology and it's outworkings in all areas of life, and he wants to share this with all people, while really trying to reach Calvinists.
On a side note, that's their little girl next to us in the avatar picture, lol. Our babies were baptized on the same day.
As long as it's better than this series, I'm cool with it.
