Explore the enduring ideas of Arminius in this comprehensive volume.
Delve into the standard works and dissertations that shaped early modern theology, including debates on prophecy, church practice, and the nature of grace and free will.
This volume presents the collected writings of James Arminius, D. D., offering a window into his method, arguments, and the theological concerns that guided his lectures and disputations. It covers systematic topics—from the life of Christ and the priestly and regal offices to the church, sacraments, obedience, and doctrinal disputations—along with private disputations that map his approach to theology as a practical, duty-bound discipline. The text is suitable for readers seeking both historical context and a clearer view of Arminius’s influence on debates about predestination, grace, and salvation.
- A practical, reader-friendly presentation of Arminius’s theological method and key concerns
