Part 2

Part 3

While one does take exception with Svendsen's 4 1/2 Point-Calvinist theology (e.g., his comments that those in Heb 6 and 10 were never true Christians), he does a good job at showing the "traditional" Reformed understanding of Gal 2:16-20 to be an exegetical stretch.

I addressed some of these issues in this post:
