Personality Types Drawn to Calvinism

If you’ve spent any time reading or watching content critiquing Calvinism, then you have certainly noticed the intensity of its defenders. The comment sections of YouTube videos, blog posts, and social media statuses are filled with Calvinists who relentlessly push back. The core of their argument is often that anyone who disagrees with Calvinism simply doesn’t understand Calvinism.

So who are these people? What kind of people are drawn to Calvinism? Who finds this detailed, systematic approach to theology appealing?

An interesting discussion that fits with my observations from the past few decades as I’ve moved in and out of Calvinist circles.

About Sallie Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
