A clear, systematic examination of church and state from a historic Reformed perspective.
This edition presents Arminius’s early defense of magistracy, the limits of civil authority, and how divine authority shapes governance, law, and social order.
The text surveys how earthly power relates to God’s will, the duties of rulers and subjects, and the proper scope of civil and ecclesiastical authority. It also delves into theological debates surrounding the nature of the Trinity, the person of Christ, and approved articles of faith, offering careful argument and historical context for readers seeking to understand Arminius’s position in early modern theology.
- Careful argument on the source and limits of political power and the good of society.
- Discussion of angels, heaven, and the beatific vision in relation to faith and conduct.
- Examination of disputed articles of faith and how orthodoxy should be understood.
Ideal for readers of religious history, Reformed theology, and early modern theological debates seeking a window into Arminius’s method and conclusions.
