Works of James Arminius, Vol. 1

Jacobus Arminius (1560–1609) was a Dutch Reformed minister and theologian, professor at the University of Leiden from 1603. Within the Reformed church he questioned the prevailing teaching on predestination, urging a place for human free will and a universal offer of grace. After his death his followers, the Remonstrants, carried his views forward; the Synod of Dort (1618–19) rejected them. Our library holds his collected Works in three volumes.
