Simon Episcopius (1583-1643); who began his theological career as the protégé of Jacobus Arminius; led the Arminians at the Synod of Dort and was instrumental in guaranteeing Arminianism’s survival. This book breaks new ground by clearly showing how; in the process of working out the implications of the theological trajectories which Arminius established; Episcopius introduced significant changes in his master’s theology. It begins by demonstrating changes between Episcopius’ early theological works and Arminius’ writings; and then even greater changes in his mature theological work; Institutiones Theologicæ. It defends the idea that Arminianism represented a pre-Calvinist movement within the Netherlands; which not only rejected Genevan predestination; but also intentionally moved away from Reformed Scholasticism. This book is useful for seminars in early Arminian theology and the Arminian controversy in the Netherlands.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Remember Me: Slave Life in Coastal GeorgiaBy georgiagirlAs a native of The Georgia Coast who has always been interested in history. I purchase and read as many books as I can about the Georgia Coast to become more knowledgeable about the area where I am from. I really enjoyed the book and if you love history and aren't from that area specifically; the book is very educational.
