Overview

The name of Arminius (1559/60 - 1609) is connected with a specific variant of the Reformed tradition: more rational and humanistic than mainstream Calvinism. This book gives an impression of the current research into his work. The focus is on the influence of Arminianism all over Europe, mainly in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. An extensive survey of the portraits of Arminius and a comprehensive bibliography of his writings complete this book.
