Join Kenny Burchard and renowned Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong as they examine one of Protestantism's most controversial doctrines: Calvinist total depravity. Does Scripture really teach that fallen humans are utterly incapable of seeking God or doing any spiritual good?

Through powerful Old Testament examples—Kings Jehoshaphat, Uzziah, and Asa—we demonstrate how the Bible contradicts Charles Hodge's systematic theology and John Calvin's radical view of human corruption. Discover what the Council of Trent actually teaches about grace, free will, and salvation.

This biblical analysis reveals why Catholic theology better explains passages showing unregenerate people seeking God, doing good, yet sometimes falling away—scenarios impossible under Calvinist assumptions. Perfect for anyone studying Reformed theology, Catholic apologetics, or biblical soteriology.
