Jacob Arminius cover

Jacob Arminius (1559-1609) is one of the few theologians in the history of Christianity who has lent his name to a significant theological movement. The dissemination of his thought throughout Europe, Great Britain, and North America, along with the appeal of his ideas in current Protestant evangelical spheres (whether rightly understood or misunderstood), continue to attract both scholarly and popular attention. Keith Stanglin and Thomas McCall's Jacob Arminius offers a constructive synthesis of the current state of Arminius studies. There is a chasm separating technical, scholarly discussions of Arminius and popular-level appeals to his thought. The authors seek to bridge the scholarly and general discussions, providing an account based on interaction with all the primary sources and latest secondary research that will be helpful to the scholar as well as comprehensible and relevant to the undergraduate student. The authors describe key elements of Arminius' theology with careful attention to its proper context; they also explore the broader theological implications of his views.

Stanglin and McCall present an appropriate and instructive balance between reflection on Arminius' theology and attention to his life. ... this book is a readable volume for the target audience and appropriate for a textbook. * Graham Burkhart, Wesley and Methodist Studies *
Jacob Arminius is a notable achievement, the fruit of careful historical work. * David C. Cramer, Trinity Journal *
