Times Magazine mentioned that the New Calvinism is one of the coolest things in the world right now. I wonder how would John Calvin in heaven, respond to this article, together with contemporaries.
Mark Driscoll suggested a helpful comparison between the Old and the New Calvinism, stating why is it so powerful.
- Old Calvinism was fundamental or liberal and separated from or syncretized with culture. New Calvinism is missional and seeks to create and redeem culture.
- Old Calvinism fled from the cities. New Calvinism is flooding into cities.
- Old Calvinism was cessationistic and fearful of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. New Calvinism is continuationist and joyful in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
- Old Calvinism was fearful and suspicious of other Christians and burned bridges. New Calvinism loves all Christians and builds bridges between them.
