The Potter's Promise

A Biblical Defense of Traditional Soteriology

De: Leighton Flowers

Narrado por: Jeff Garza

A former Calvinistic Reformed Baptist minister and now Director of Apologetics and Professor of Theology, recounts his theological journey in and out of Calvinism. In so doing, Dr. Flowers’ sets out to help his listeners understand a non-Calvinistic “Traditional” Southern Baptist interpretation of the most quoted and relied upon chapters for defending Calvinistic soteriology: Romans 8-9; Ephesians 1 and John 6.

“Some passages (especially Romans 9) appear to support Calvinism, but does God really predestine particular persons for heaven or hell? And where is the knowledgeable expositor who also possesses an irenic disposition to answer such critical questions? Leighton Flowers nobly meets these qualifications and approaches the Scripture with a passion for the original language and context. We are all deeply in his debt for teaching us to hear God's Word so much better than we did before this book was written. Highly recommended.” -Dr. Malcolm B. Yarnell III, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Author of God the Trinity: Biblical Portraits and Royal Priesthood in the English Reformation and The Formation of Christian Doctrine

“Having vacated theological Geneva after years as one of its finest citizens, Dr. Leighton Flowers is well aware of how to reason like a Calvinist. His masterful treatment of the biblical text, and his philosophically consistent reasoning, is sure to satisfy the pallet of the academically interested. Yet, his accessible writing leads to a rare accomplishment. Lay listeners will have no difficulty understanding the Calvinist positions and the best responses to them. Any related bibliography that does not include Dr. Flowers masterful work will, henceforth, surely look odd.” – Dr. Braxton Hunter, President of Trinity Seminary

Extraordinary Hermeneutical Clarity

The organization of ideas, depth of biblical understanding and exegetical application when blended with pastoral compassion make this one of the grandest achievements in Christian history.

May God continue to bless and strengthen Leighton Flowers, his family and working staff to God’s glory. And, may every believer be inspired, challenged and committed to sharing the truth about God’s gracious provision as revealed in this literary masterpiece.

Dismantling Calvinism’s Most Popular Proof Text

In The Potter’s Promise, Dr. Flowers does a masterful job at showing how Calvinism’s interpretation of Romans 9 falls short in light of the true context of the passage. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with Calvinism who wants to hear a non-Calvinist perspective of Romans 9. Great Narration as well!
