Is evangelistic preaching somehow less urgent or even unnecessary if you are a Calvinist? That is the question answered throughout this short but weighty book by Professor Donald Macleod and unsurprisingly the answer is an unequivocal ‘no’.
Macleod begins and ends by focusing on a landmark sermon by Spurgeon from which the title is derived. Each chapter title starts with ‘The free offer’ and the chapters examine how proclaiming this offer relates to different dimensions of Calvinism, evangelism, or the character of God.
