Synopsis

This book carefully investigates the origins, nature and development of John Wesley's Arminian theology. It opens with a summary of Jacobus Arminius' revision of Dutch Calvinism and continues by tracing the growth of Arminian theology in 17th-century England. Close attention is given to Wesley's teaching on original sin, justification by faith, the witness of the Spirit, and what he designated Methodism's 'grand depositum' - the doctrine of scriptural holiness.
