The Works of James Arminius, Volume II

What is the nature of divine grace? How should Scripture be interpreted? What is the relationship between God's sovereignty and human freedom? In the writings of James Arminius, these questions become part of a sweeping examination of the foundations of Christian theology.The Works of James Arminius, Volume II presents an extensive collection of theological disputations and writings in which Arminius develops his understanding of Scripture, God, creation, providence, sin, Christ, predestination, faith, justification, sanctification, the Church, the sacraments, and Christian obedience. The volume also contains his important dissertation on the seventh chapter of Romans, where Arminius carefully examines one of Paul's most debated passages and defends his interpretation through Scripture, theological argument, and the testimony of earlier Christian writers.Further writings confront some of the controversies most closely associated with Arminius, including divine predestination, grace and free will, original sin, regeneration, perseverance, and the assurance of salvation. Detailed, systematic, and firmly engaged with Scripture, The Works of James Arminius, Volume II offers readers an opportunity to encounter Arminius's theology in its full breadth and complexity-an essential collection for students of Arminianism, Reformed theology, biblical interpretation, and the enduring Christian debates concerning grace, freedom, and salvation.
