Blomberg on sovereignty and choice

Craig Blomberg hits the ball out of the park in his essay, "Why I'm a 'Calminian.'" Here's the opening:

If either pure five-point Calvinism or its consistent repudiation in pure Arminianism were completely faithful to Scripture, it is doubtful that so many Bible-believing, godly evangelical Christians would have wound up on each side. The former wants to preserve the Scriptural emphasis on divine sovereignty; the latter, on human freedom and responsibility. Both are right in what they want and correct to observe in Scripture the theme that they stress. Both also regularly create caricatures of what the other side believes. Straw men are always the easiest to knock down.

Amen. You can also read my own, brief stab at the issue here.
