I've been listening to the A29 Bootcamp live while working this afternoon. Right now they have a Q & A session going and one of the questions asked was "What does it mean that A29 is a reformed network?" This led into a discussion of Calvinism where Driscoll pointed out that he's not a fan of the Five Points because they are "negative theology," or were written in response to Arminianism, which is "not a good way to do theology." I dig that. He also mentioned that many call Calvinism "God-centerd" theology, but that, in his view, it's not God-centered because it starts with our total depravity rather than the glory of God, e.g., it starts with Genesis 3 rather than Genesis 1.
"I'm not against the five points of Calvinism, but I'm not for them either." - Mark Driscoll
