Who let the dogs out? For G.K. Chesterton, Calvinism was a dirty word. So what could Chestertonian Calvinism be but an oxymoron? Yet those who have experienced the grateful joy of a Calvinistic understanding of God’s sovereignty know that nothing should spring more naturally from its soil than an exuberant Chestertonian liveliness. What if Chestertonian Calvinism has not been tried and found wanting, but has been found to have been way too much fun and not tried? Liberating grace should actually liberate. There have been times in history when it has done so, at which point the keepers of dignified religion have always done their best to try to get the ensuing rowdiness back into the box. This book is Douglas Wilson’s attempt to let it out.
