God So Loved the World: 
Traditional Baptists and Calvinism 
by Fisher Humphreys and Paul E. Robertson 

As Baptists near the four hundredth anniversary of their founding, they find themselves once again face-to-face with questions that claimed the attention of their spiritual ancestors. Calvinistic Baptists argue that God exercises sovereignty over the universe by decreeing in advance everything that will happen, including the fall of human beings into sin and the damnation of some of them. They also claim that their views are biblical and are the true Baptist heritage. 

In this readable and helpful book, the authors address the claims of Calvinism. Taking their stand on John 3:16, they argue that the traditional Baptist view is that God loves all people and desires the welfare of all. They say that the fall of human beings into sin and the judgment that follows are things that have been chosen by human beings rather than decreed by God.
