Keith D. Stanglin and Thomas H. McCall
Reviews and Awards
"[Stanglin and McCall] have set out to write a clear, balanced, and sympathetic introduction to the theology of the Dutch theologian, Jacob Arminius (1559-1609)... This book presents the teaching of Arminius on God and Christ, creation and fall, sin and salvation, grace and predestination. Ultimately it shows that Arminius taught what we might call a very Augustinian Arminianism... It succeeds in what it set out to do: present an introduction to the theology of Arminius. The book helped me see Arminius as a theologian of the goodness of God." --W. Robert Godfrey, President and Professor of Church History, Westminster Seminary California
"Keith Stanglin and Thomas McCall have provided a much needed introduction to the thought of this major theologian that is both scholarly and accessible. They set aside the prejudices and stereotypes that have often plagued the study of Arminius and provide a significant access to the main themes of his thought--a work to be studied by scholars in the field and valued by all students of the early modern roots of contemporary Protestant thought."--Richard A. Muller, P. J. Zondervan Professor of Historical Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary
