Calvinism presents a rational coherence but it is purchased at a price: a smaller God, a narrower atonement, a Bible that must be systematically reinterpreted to fit a theological grid.
Paradoxes scripture leaves intact—election & invitation, particular grace & universal love, a Father who draws all men & a Father who passes over multitudes—are not held in reverent tension but dissolved into logical priorities. A theology afraid to let God be bigger than its own architecture.
