What do the Canons of Dordt mean to people in the Las Vegas
airport---and does anyone there even care? In the movie Hardcore, a
pious Calvinist elder tries unsuccessfully to explain the TULIP
theology of his Dutch Reformed faith to a prostitute in the Las
Vegas airport. This incongruous conversation demonstrates how
Calvinism is often perceived today: irrelevant, harsh, even
disrespectful. Beginning with this movie scene, Calvinism in the
Las Vegas Airport addresses the weaknesses of Calvinism and points
to its strengths. How does Calvinism shed light on today? Instead
of reciting the Canons of Dordt, what s a more compassionate way to
relate to nonbelievers? What might it look like to live out the
doctrines of TULIP with gentleness and respect? This conversational
book provides answers and shatters some stereotypes. Calvinism in
the Las Vegas Airport encourages you to live every aspect of
life---business, family, education, politics, activities, and
more---before the face of a generous, sovereign God. Calvinists and
non-Calvinists alike will find this an enjoyable read. You will
discover that Reformed theology can speak relevantly and
compellingly today, both to you and to people in the Las Vegas
airport. Does Calvinism Have Anything to Do with the 21st Century?
What do you think about Calvinism? Do you view it positively or
negatively? Or has its day passed? Let s face it, many
non-Calvinists hold a less-than-positive view, sometimes due to
caricatures. This friendly, conversational book helps clear up some
misconceptions and distorted views. If you re not a Calvinist, here
is an engaging inside look. And if you are a Calvinist, Richard
Mouw shows how to live gently and respectfully with
others---Christians and non-Christians---who hold different
perspectives. Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport focuses not on
what Calvinists believe but on how they live. From a movie scene to
the author s personal experiences in Las Vegas, you are invited to
travel with Mouw and see the Reformed faith in a new light. Yes, it
still does travel well "
