It might be helpful first to have a better view of reformed doctrine rather than limiting your reading to books that refute it. I've seen reformed doctrine maligned particularly when it is misunderstood.

I recommend starting with www.monergism.com

The box on the left has a plethora of articles that would help anyone understand reformed theology.

If you have a heart for the muslims, you gotta study up on their beliefs before you witness to them. They won't believe a word you say if you prove yourself unstudied in their faith.

Same with reformed folk. If you say something that shows you don't know what you're talking about, we will either point out your error or chalk you up as just another person that doesn't fully grasp what reformed theology is.

What, is that websight the "goliath of Calvinism" or something. Every reformed christian after being refuted on their "points" go hide behind the dude Jimmy and his websight. The sad thing is is that after being refuted on some of his stuff, he remains unwilling to repent of his bad theology and keeps the sight up.

Anyways, I have been there, and plan to one day do a critique of his calvinistic material. Thanks though JJB.

If you desire looking at some material that approaches the extent of the atonement from a Biblical perspective, check out the following:

"The Death Christ Died" by Robert Lightner
"Did Christ Die Only for the Elect?" by N.F. Douty.

Maybe I am mistaken that the creator of the websight is that guy Jimmy Hendrix. Anyways, yes your right it is a compilation of many articles on the reformed view. Thanks for the correction JJB.
