I learned today, from The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, that the phrase "Damned if you do and damned if you don't" was coined by Lorenzo Dow, the 19th century American preacher. According to said publication, Dow was speaking specifically about the Calvinist doctrine of "Particular Election".

I've not heard of Particular Election before, but I am faniliarfamiliar with Unconditional Election, and, judging by the phrase, that sounds rather like what Dow was getting at. Are Particular Election and Unconditional Election synonymous? If not, please give me a condensed version of what Particular Election entails.
