(W.I.S.E.) What If Scriptural Exegesis
📖 Reexamining Reformed Theology: A Hermeneutical Correction of Calvinistic Presuppositions
Is Calvinism really the gospel—or has it distorted the good news of Jesus Christ?
For centuries, the doctrines of T.U.L.I.P. have shaped churches and theology. But what if these doctrines rest not on Scripture, but on false presuppositions? What if Calvinism’s roots lie more in pagan philosophy, Gnostic fatalism, and Augustine’s distortions than in the plain teaching of God’s Word?
In this groundbreaking volume, pastor and Bible teacher Timothy P. Smith traces the historical, philosophical, and theological roots of Calvinism—from the Roman Catholic Church and Augustine to Luther and Calvin—demonstrating how their presuppositions shaped the system we know today. Applying sound biblical hermeneutics, Smith examines each point of T.U.L.I.P. and shows why Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints collapse under the weight of Scripture itself. This book is not an exegetical commentary, but it is intended to be an introduction to the Wisdom 101 series, which does explore Calvinistic key passages, topics, and presuppositions in detail. This book will provide a detailed theological and hermeneutical foundation on which the series will be built.
Yet this book is not merely a polemic—it is deeply pastoral. Readers will find:
-
A call to return to let Scripture define truth.
-
Overviews of key texts (Romans 9, Ephesians 1, John 6, and more).
-
Historical insights connecting pagan philosophy and Augustine’s influence.
-
A positive presentation of the true gospel: God’s universal love, Christ’s atonement for all, human responsibility, and eternal security.
-
Practical guidance for pastors, students, and everyday Christians.
Whether you are wrestling with Calvinism, seeking assurance of salvation, or longing to understand the heart of God revealed in Scripture, this book will strengthen your confidence in the gospel: Christ died for all, the invitation is genuine, and God preserves His people by His grace.

Calvinistas: The Undercover Mission From God To Reform
Traditional churches across the Southern Baptist Convention—and beyond—are facing a quiet but devastating crisis. Pastoral candidates are arriving at pulpit committees’ doors professing unity, humility, and biblical conviction—yet concealing a vital truth: they are committed Calvinists. Once safely installed in the pulpit, many of these pastors begin introducing Calvinistic doctrine, often to congregations that neither expected nor desired it. The result? Confusion, division, and in too many cases, churches torn apart or shuttered forever.
Calvinistas pulls back the curtain on this growing problem. With clarity and conviction, this book traces the rise, spread, and current strategies of Calvinism within the Southern Baptist Convention. It reveals how seminaries, instead of equipping students for balanced ministry, are producing ministers indoctrinated into a single system—and sending them out under the banner of “gospel faithfulness.”
But this book is more than history—it’s a handbook. Written for non-Calvinistic churches, deacon boards, and pulpit committees, it provides practical tools to identify theological red flags, craft the right questions for pastoral candidates, and protect congregations from being blindsided. Readers will discover:
-
A historical overview of Calvinism’s rise and influence in the SBC
-
How churches are being misled during the search process
-
The difference between a church that is “non-Calvinist” and one that is truly “anti-Calvinist”
-
Checklists and sample questions for pulpit committees and deacons
-
Practical strategies to guard unity and preserve biblical convictions
Whether you are a church leader, a committee member, or a concerned believer, this book arms you with the insight and discernment needed to face one of the most pressing challenges in Baptist life today. If you want a tool designed to help you as a church or pulpit committee on how to recognize stealth Calvinists and find the man God is calling to your church, I would buy this for every member of your committee and all of your deacons.
Clear, urgent, and unapologetically practical, this is not just a warning—it’s a guide to action. If your church values transparency, biblical fidelity, and unity in the gospel, you cannot afford to ignore the message of this book.

A Biblical Soteriology: Where The T.U.L.I.P. Never Blooms And The R.O.S.E.S. Never Fade
For centuries, the doctrines of grace have been debated, dissected, and too often distorted. A Biblical Soteriology: Where the TULIP Never Blooms and the ROSES Never Fade challenges the assumptions of Calvinism and re-examines the Scriptures to reveal a God whose love, mercy, and invitation to salvation extend to every person.
This comprehensive study dismantles the rigid petals of TULIP theology — Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints — and replaces them with the fragrant truth of ROSES: God’s Response-Ability of man, Open invitation of grace, Sufficient atonement for all, Enabled faith, and Secure preservation of believers.
This book explores the consistent witness of Scripture:
-
The Quest for Truth – What is biblical soteriology?
-
A Questionable Past – How Augustine and Calvin shaped theology’s drift.
-
Who Is God? – Understanding divine love apart from determinism.
-
Do You Have TD? – Examining human nature and the myth of total inability.
-
Election, Atonement, Grace, and Preservation – Re-defining these doctrines in light of Scripture.
-
Ephesians and Romans – Proof texts revisited, context restored.
-
The Gospel of John and John 6 – The difference between “drawing” and “dragging.”
-
The Saints and the Aints – First John’s test of true faith.
-
Prevenient Grace and the Universal Call – God’s Spirit and the Word convicting the world.
With more than twenty chapters of careful exposition and four appendices addressing common proof texts, A Biblical Soteriology restores the Biblical balance between God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility, rejecting fatalism while magnifying grace.
Discover that God has not rejected the Jewish people. Discover that the "elect", "saints", "foreknown", "chosen" and "predestined" all refer in the immediate context of Scripture to Israel. Secondarily, they apply to all who are of faith.
God does not choose some for Heaven and others for Hell.
Total Depravity is a false teaching and there is no such thing as pre-faith regeneration.
This is not a book of philosophy or denominational bias — it’s a return to the Bible’s own testimony: that Christ died for all, that all may believe, and that the gospel remains the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.
Whether you are a pastor, student, or believer seeking clarity, this work will equip you to defend the faith, proclaim the true gospel, and rejoice in a God whose grace is greater than any system.
