An interesting article from the Christian Science Monitor related to the resurgence of Calvinism can be found here.

Martin’s Mercurial Musings began when I started asking deeper questions related to my Christian faith. Matters of faith became confusing and I was baffled at the disparity of doctrines beliefs given that Christian work from the same “source material” (aka the Bible). How can there be so much variance as to what Christians believe? Or more importantly, where is the truth? That which I thought I knew and believed – well, I’m not so sure anymore. Although born in OH, I grew up in Tucson AZ. After college, a job offer lured me to Eagan MN where I worked in process development at a semiconductor chip manufacturing facility over the next 40yrs. I’m now in the “Buick stage” of life (retired) and currently reside in FL. In no specific order, things which make life more enjoyable include coffee in the morning, making sawdust in the garage, roughhousing with the grandkids, playing various fretted instruments, participating in online chess tournaments, growing fresh tomatoes, and an occasional IPA. In addition to my musings on Christian faith and Calvinistic doctrines, I also like to write about my experiences in the Coast Guard along with various news, political and social items of interest. I’m truly delighted you’re here. Feel free to poke around and comment as you wish. I value the insight of others with a different perspective and welcome cordial discussions regarding any disagreements. View all posts by Bob
Martin's Mercurial Musings 
I assume the mourning period re: Joe Nathan is close to over….?
Paul Washer (a Calvinist himself) says something like this regarding new Calvinists: “They should lock them up for two or three years so they don’t hurt anybody.”
We’ll be visiting sunny Minnesota this weekend. Will we be able to see the glow from your location? :)
Delighted to have you visit MN. Too bad today’s the last of the pleasant weather as cooler temps and rain will prevail over the Easter weekend. I hear conflicting things re Joe Nathan – that he’s going to undergo elbow surgery to REPLACE the tendon and just yesterday as the Twins were setting their final roster Joe was put on the 15 day disabled status. Who knows. But I have confidence that at the end of the season he’ll ’sink’ the Tiger’s play-off hopes again! {;-D) Say, if you’ll be in the SE metro area (or can make that happen) I’d be pleased to buy the coffee and show you “glow-central”.
William Lane Craig is a Molinist so I would find his critique of Boyd interesting. I think Open Theism has some problems as I’m not convinced by the way which Boyd explains Peter’s denial of Jesus, for example. But I cannot get around anything in scripture as far as covenant relationships, prayer and contingency without conceding that some things must be open. I shy away from the term open theism. But I can’t escape the concept.
