The word election in the Bible is NEVER used in the context of God choosing someone to be saved - not even once! In the day and age of milk and cookies theology, there is seldom much hunger for the meat of God's Word. However, true theology is a line upon line, precept upon precept work. This detailed research is not for the milk and cookies crowd. "Rightly dividing the Word of Truth" requires careful and meticulous examination of the Biblical data of all that God has said about a topic from cover to cover, and in minute detail (inductive methodology). In Dr. Ketchum's new book The Poison TULIP, he applies a Biblical Hermeneutic to the doctrine of Election dismantling the presuppositions and eisegesis of Calvinism to discover simply what God's Word teaches. The Poison TULIP does not get involved in the endless arguments of Proof Text Theology that have been mainstay of the deductive hermeneutics of faulty theologies for centuries. From cover to cover, The Poison TULIP is simply solid inductive Hermeneutics of Sola Scriptura.
