You only have to be in Christian circles a few months before you come across the debate that rages between Arminians and Calvinists. You soon pick up these two
words—“Arminians” and “Calvinists”—especially if you are a college or university student and you live in Zambia. What you rarely ever hear about is Hyper-Calvinism. In fact, most often, when people are fighting against a Calvinism that does not believe in evangelism they are actually fighting Hyper- Calvinism. They just don’t know it!
Why does this battle ever rage in the first place? The two individuals whose names make up the controversy lived in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe.
