Monergism
Monergism.com offers numerous articles and other materials from a Reformed perspective - many written by the Puritans and giants of the Reformation.
Definition of Monergism: The view that the Holy Spirit is the only agent who effects regeneration of Christians. It is in contrast with synergism, the view that there is a cooperation between the divine and the human in the regeneration process. Monergism is a redemptive blessing purchased by Christ for those the Father has given Him (1 Pet 1:3, John 3:5,6, 6:37, 39). This grace works independently of any human cooperation and conveys that power into the fallen soul whereby the person who is to be saved is effectually enabled to respond to the gospel call (John 1:13; Acts 2:39, 13:48; Rom 9:16).

Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
In December, 1987, the newly-formed Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood met in Danvers, Massachusetts, to compose the Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Prior to the listing of the actual affirmations that comprise the Danvers Statement, the Council included a section detailing contemporary developments that serve as the rationale for these affirmations. The Council offers this statement to the evangelical world, knowing that it will stimulate healthy discussion, hoping that it will gain widespread assent. Refreshing Springs Church adheres to the Statement.
