Excellent overview for a proper understanding Arminius' theology and the reasons why he opposed the Reformed Calvinism of his day.

The chapter contents listed in the book are as follows:

1. The Making of a Theologian, where the authors rehearse Arminius' personal life and the various perspectives others have had concerning his person, work, and influence.

2. God and Creation, whereby Arminius' theology is grounded.

3. Providence and Predestination, wherein the authors start getting into the nitty-gritty (so to speak) of Arminius' theology in opposition to Calvinism. What is very interesting are the authors' 7 pages discussing "Providence and Evil" with respect to the divine permission.

4. Sin and Salvation, where he argues that (unlike Calvinism) God's "only role" sinful behavior is "permitting humanity to exercise free will and power" (p.143).

This is a book is for both non-Calvinist and Calvinists interested in the Calvinist–Arminian controversy, for the purpose of clarifying and correcting one's understanding of Arminian theology.

Backcover: "Stanglin introduces over one hundred edited selections to create a reader that orients students to the ebb and flow of thought out from the pre-Reformation period."

Excellent resource beginning with the doctrinal controversies of the 1300 to 1500 hundreds until the modern days of pluralism and ecumenism (2003). For those interested, it includes 28 pages of the "Arminian Controversy," a mention I hardly see anywhere or of very little in Church history books.
