Inspired by the ideas of the Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius,
Arminianism was the subject of important theological controversies
in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and still today
remains an important position within Protestant thought. What
became known as Arminian theology was held by people across a wide
swath of geographical and ecclesial positions. This theological
movement was in part a reaction to the Reformed doctrine of
predestination and was founded on the assertion that God's
sovereignty and human free will are compatible. More broadly, it
was an attempt to articulate a holistic view of God and salvation
that is grounded in Scripture and Christian tradition as well as
adequate to the challenges of life. First developed in European,
British, and American contexts, the movement engaged with a wide
range of intellectual challenges. While standing together in their
common rejection of several key planks of Reformed theology,
supporters of Arminianism took varying positions on other matters.
Some were broadly committed to catholic and creedal theology, while
others were more open to theological revision. Some were concerned
primarily with practical matters, while others were engaged in
system-building as they sought to articulate and defend an
over-arching vision of God and the world. The story of Arminian
development is complex, yet essential for a proper understanding of
the history of Protestant theology. The historical development of
Arminian theology, however, is not well known. In After Arminius,
Thomas H. McCall and Keith D. Stanglin offer a thorough historical
introduction to Arminian theology, providing an account that will
be useful to scholars and students of ecclesiastical history and
modern Christian thought.
