Olson, Roger E. Against Calvinism. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011.
Olson takes a rather hard line on this topic. At one point, he claims that he could not worship God, if Calvinism was true! However, his book is an excellent biblical and philosophical critique of Calvinism.

The best chapter in this book is the critique of limited atonement. Specifically, the authors demonstrate that John Calvin, Martin Luther, and various other reformers did not hold to limited atonement.
