In this episode of CrossPolitic, author Ben Zornes joins us to talk about his book Tulips on Fire, where he challenges the cold, lifeless view of Calvinism. Instead, he shows how the doctrines of TULIP should ignite a passionate pursuit of holiness. From the Synod of Dort to the fiery piety of the Dutch Reformation, Zornes dives into how figures like Wilhelmus á Brakel and Gisbertus Voetius lit a fire for godliness that still speaks to us today. If you think Calvinism is just dry theology, think again—this conversation will reignite your faith!
