Maxwel has started a sensation of Calvinists looking to increase their understanding via concussions. Maybe we'll meet self-flagellating Catholics, and overly zealous Charismatics full circle.
It's symbollic- man falls feeling the pain of sin. He emerges with greater knowledge of God's character and ways
Oh Felix Culpa...

Incidentally I hit my head coming in through the garage just now (ouchie!). And of course, I had TULIP and these conversations come to mind. Maybe not so incidental after all...

My fellow Reformed types, Lutheran allies, and Maxwel
I recently pawed through Sproul's What is Reformed Theology? And I have to say the first half of the book is fantastic in orienting cage-stagers in our midst toward what the basis of Reformed theology is. Particularly the first half which focuses on the 5 Foundation Stones of Reformed Theology:
1. Centered on God
2. Based on God's Word Alone
3. Committed to Faith Alone
4. Devoted to the Prophet, Priest, and King
5. Covenant Theology
This is a brilliant and brief orientation that gets to the heart of what Reformed theology is all about. It would certainly stymie the snarling cage-stage if administered early. Perhaps couple it with Maxwel's Hammer.
In the second half, Sproul swings through and defends all five points (while cherry picking some John Owen quotes in the section on limited atonement), but I almost wish he would have simply made that a second book altogether. Make your friend read it after they read the first half twice or maybe three times.
