I purchased the TBI seminar on TULIP last year and my wife and I have listened to it with great satisfaction. It is an effective teaching tool (although a video version would have been even more satisfying). I returned to the different segments often as I was grappling with the complexity of each point. Limited Atonement and Irresistible Grace, for instance, are hard points to understand when you’re raised in a culture that absolutely idolizes free will. My only beef, and its fairly small, is that Piper is an active preacher who illustrates with hand gestures (and other visual aids?). Some of the harder biblical passages are discussed by Piper in such a way that the illustration is lost on the listener. I know my wife was slowly convinced of the truth of the five points as the clear teaching and biblically saturated lessons were delivered.

Timmy,

Thanks for the post, I also was alerted to the fact it was posted and have already listened to the series….amazing stuff. Piper really does an amazing job on all of the points by really wrestling with the text and giving very helpful real life situations in his ministry in which he was challenged by others or has been able to point out the specific times when believing in the doctrines of grace really made an impact in his ministry.
