Nuggets from "Whatever Happened to Heaven?" by Dave Hunt

The obedience that God, according to Calvinism, could have predestined but chose not to, Calvin was determined to effect, not by grace but by the severest imposition of the law. The once noble cry of "sola scriptura" had somehow metamorphosed into "sola Calvinism."
"[Within Calvin's Geneva] persistent absence from Protestant services, or continued refusal to take the Eucharist, was a punishable offense. Heresy again became an insult to God and treason to the state, and was to be punished with death." (Durant, "Reformation," 472-73)
