Tom,

Phil is not in any way wanting Calvinists to adopt Arminians strategies. He is just commenting on the fact that in the past Calvinism had a lot more Calvinists who were devoted to evangelism as their primary ministry.

I see now from the link you provided that his contrast (not readily apparent from the original quote, which is why I issued the caveat "assuming it was unaccompanied by a more in-depth explanation") was not between Calvinist and Arminian, but rather between "historic" and "modern/Internet" Calvinists.

That said, I restate my concern over his framing of the issue primarily in light of the practice of "famous Calvinists", including, according to the issue in the blog article, those with wide media access, particularly on the Internet, and reiterate that using that measure of comparison of evangelistic activity is itself a peculiarly modern, American concept of evangelism, predominant among but not unique to Arminians, in which the best evangelism requires the widest exposure of the most well-known personalities, rather than each in his own calling, primarily in the context of the local church.

In Christ,
Paul S
