I do not know if you are going to find an "anti" textbook. You will be better served finding textbooks that are "pro" your position. Compare the two and come to your own conclusion.

You jest, but writing a paper adversus Altizer was one of the more was one of the more...growth-inducing assignments I had.
Something about the best defense is a good offense, know your enemy.

So if I'm torn between an F150 and a C1500, I shouldn't limit my research to the Ford dealership.

Is interesting though that the Calvinist has far more and superior sources to use to bolster their arguments, as those against that position have relatively little in response!

Well, it is the only infallible and inspired source for doctrines and theology, but not the only one!

To get the real gist of what Calvinsm teaches though, at least in regards to salvation proper, one would check into Calvin, Hodge, Berkhof, Turretin etc!

No you just need to read the scriptures.

Again those (like myself) on the other side, believe Christ died for all mankind, because He became the propitiation or means of salvation from God's wrath for the sins of the whole world.

Both these verses reinforce and support my view.
So I have no idea of what your point might be.
Are you agreeing?
I expect not.
Who are "the sheep" who have gone astray?
Are those called out, part of mankind?
Of course.

None, but God has given to His people gifted authors to help us understand the scriptures better, as I listed before!

Can someone recommend a theology textbook that argues against predestination, limited atonement and election?
I'm taking a theology course that asks the students to compare sources but I can only find theology text books that support Calvinist ideas.
Any suggestions, Thanks!

I see that this thread was from way back in January, but I'll suggest a book anyway: Lectures in Systematic Theology , by Henry Thiessen (https://www.amazon.com/Lectures-Sys...=Henry+Thiessen&qid=1575314208&s=books&sr=1-1 ).
Also, my son's Ph.D. dissertation has been published as: Foreknowledge and Social Identity in 1 Peter , by Paul Himes (https://www.amazon.com/Foreknowledg...1_5?keywords=paul+himes&qid=1575314043&sr=8-5 ). In it he proves conclusively that foreknowledge does not mean predestination.

Would be interesting to read that book of your son, as Lexicons seems to support the notion that it does!

Lexicons feed off each other. In other words, when someone writes a new lexicon, he or she will look at the previous ones and revise from them.
What my son did was look at every single usage of proginosko in ancient Greek literature, both Biblical and extra-biblical. This had never been done before. I'm prejudiced, of course, but I think he proved his point, and of course he passed the Ph.D. committee. So they agreed as to the validity of his research.

I don't believe so. His larger aim was defining the paroikoi , the "strangers" (1 Peter 2:11 ).

Interesting, as Election would seem to be the overarching platform in defining predestination and foreknowledge of God!
