New Calvinism Seen Sweeping Young Christians; Preachers Call It Upsurge in Reformed Theology

Several Reformed preachers recently sat down together to talk about the New Calvinism that has been sweeping the younger generation of Christians, the Christian Post website reports today (October 20, 2010).

"You've got a generation of Christians who've grown up in an overwhelmingly secular culture and they're not part of a churched culture," said Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in an informal discussion hosted by The Gospel Coalition.

In recent years, pastors have pondered the upsurge of interest in Reformed theology -- which includes holding to the authority of Scripture, the sovereignty of God, and the sovereignty of grace -- with some proposing that it is blossoming from a restlessness and dissatisfaction with contemporary evangelicalism.

"I think it is a wonderful thing that this younger generation is deeply biblical, deeply passionate, deeply convictional, increasingly confessional, and ready to do something great for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ," Mohler said.
