Against Calvinism

I'm reading through a few new books, but the one that I will talk about here is Against Calvinism by Roger Olson. 

I'm only half way through the book and I must say like all the other books by Olson it is well written and thought through. Am I convinced of Arminianism? No. I'm not even sure if he is truly a classical Arminian him self. Because in his other writings I see influences of Moltmann concerning the sovereignty of God. But then like most Calvinist, I think most Arminians differ on things too. 

Most forms of Calvinism Olsen is against. So if you were thinking that he is warm to any of it he isn't. He only likes revisionist Calvinism stripped of Reformed theology containing no TULIP, John Piper and no Sproul.

Is it a good read? It's ok. Like his other books I read them as fast as I can and then get out of Dodge!
