Calvinism’s Proof Texts

The passages collected below are Scriptures regularly appealed to in support of Calvinist theology. They are organized according to the doctrines or theological claims for which they are commonly used. Some passages appear under more than one heading because Calvinists may appeal to the same passage in support of more than one doctrine.

The purpose of this collection is not to provide the complete examination of each passage on this page. Instead, each Scripture reference serves as a doorway to the Bible commentary or article where that passage is examined in its biblical context. The question throughout is not whether Calvinism can cite a verse in support of a doctrine, but whether the verse, examined within its immediate context and the whole counsel of Scripture, actually establishes the theological conclusion being drawn from it.
