For those who want to get to grips with what Arminius actually wrote, as opposed to what others have said he wrote or have written about him, this is now the first place to turn. From beneath centuries of misunderstanding and misinterpretation Stuart Clarke has unearthed the real Arminius. --John Darch, Lecturer in Church History and Liturgy, St. John's College Nottingham Dr. Clarke's historical and theological study shows Arminius to be both more and less than an adversary of Calvin. His lucid account forms an invaluable companion to the 1986 English edition of Arminius's writings. --Paul Ellingworth, Honorary Lecturer, University of Aberdeen This thorough study of the writings of James Arminius will be of great interest to all Christians who are unhappy with the Calvinist view of predestination, but it also suggests how wide of the mark some so-called Arminians have been. In this intellectual biography, Arminius emerges as a champion of Christian orthodoxy whose opponents were marginalizing the work and person of Christ and were portraying God as other than a God of love. This Christocentric interpretation of Arminius is a significant new development in historical theology. --Tom Noble, Professor of Theology, Nazarene Theological Seminary
