Publisher's Synopsis
""Man's Faith and Freedom: The Theological Influence of Jacobus Arminius"" is a book written by Gerald O. McCulloh that explores the theological ideas and influence of the Dutch theologian Jacobus Arminius. Arminius was a controversial figure in the Protestant Reformation, challenging the dominant Calvinist doctrine with his views on predestination, free will, and salvation. McCulloh delves into Arminius' life, examining his upbringing, education, and religious beliefs. He then explores the development of Arminius' theology, including his rejection of Calvinist predestination and his emphasis on free will and the role of faith in salvation. The book also examines the impact of Arminius' ideas on the broader theological landscape, including the formation of the Remonstrant movement and the eventual split between Arminianism and Calvinism. McCulloh argues that Arminius' ideas continue to influence modern theology, particularly in the areas of free will and the relationship between faith and works. Overall, ""Man's Faith and Freedom"" provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the life and theological influence of Jacobus Arminius, shedding light on an important figure in the history of Protestant theology.Contributing Authors Include Gerrit Hoenderdaal, Lambertus Jacobus Van Holk, Geoffrey Nuttall, James Luther Adams And Russell Henry Stafford.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
