Calvinism Quote by William Godwin
“During my academical life, and from this time forward, I was indefatigable in my search after truth.

![“What I am trying to argue here [Save Calvinism] and in other works before this one is that the Reformed tradition as I have characterized it is much broader and richer than many of us today imagine. It is not just about "Five Points," and it was never just about [John ] Calvin's thought.” quote by Oliver D.
