Somebody please help me out here. I want to learn. I got saved on August 18, 1962 and have been somewhat of a Bible scholar all these years, and have JUST NOW for the first time heard the term Monergism.

After reading most of your paragraph about Regeneration, I’m beginning to think Monergism is nothing more than a 75-cent name for Hyper-Calvinism, which used the acrostic: T-U-L-I-P to illustrate its 5 pillars. Am I getting warm?

I also may as well state that on this same type thread regarding this Bible yesterday, I read down the list of all the contributors of the content and articles in the new Study Bible. I found it curious that the ONLY name I recognized out of all those dozens was J.I. Packer. So who ARE all these strangers, and what doctrine might they be peddling? I think I’ll just stick to The New KJV and The NIV, and my Strong’s Concordance and let the supercharged Calvinists go do their own thang!

Supercharged?

Nope.

The acrostic TULIP defines every day, run of the mill Calvinists.

A good description of hyper-calvinism is as follows:

The hyper Calvinist emphasizes the sovereignty of God to such an extent that man's human responsibility is denied. In actuality, hyper Calvinism is a rejection of historic Calvinist thought. Hyper-Calvinism denies the gospel call applies to all, and/or denies that faith is the duty of every sinner, and/or denies the gospel offer to the non-elect, and/or denies that the offer of divine mercy is free and universal, and/or denies that there is such a thing as "common grace," and/or denies that God has any sort of love for the non-elect. Calvinists do not agree with the hyper-Calvinists. Source: CARM

I find that curious as well!

The contributors are well know Reformed and Evangelical scholars, many of them are seminary professors, not authors of the drivel you will find in most Christian bookstores. BTW, J.I. Packer is a Calvinist.

**So who ARE all these strangers, and what doctrine might they be peddling?**

They aren't strangers. Perhaps you should get out more. ;-)
