Although scholarship has treated, on the one hand, some aspects of Jacobus Arminiusâs theology, and on the other hand, the doctrine of assurance in the Reformed theologians of early Protestant orthodoxy, nevertheless proper attention has not yet been given to the intersection of these topics: Arminiusâs doctrine of assurance. With special attention to previously neglected primary sources, this book offers stimulating insights into the academic context of Arminius, and, along with a comparative analysis of his colleagues at Leiden University, explores new horizons in his doctrines of salvation and assurance. Arminiusâs search for true assurance of salvation emerges as a decisive factor in his famous dissent from Reformed theology.
Keith D. Stanglin, Ph.D. (2006) in Historical Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary, is Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at Harding University. He has published articles in Trinity Journal, Westminster Theological Journal, and Journal of Religious Ethics.
"Stanglin is descriptive without overtly desiring to adjudge orthodoxy, displaying an expert and precise ability to define complex scholastic forms of argument customary in academic discourse. [...] Stanglin writes well and his topic is worthy. His book should be used in Reformation studies in general and in courses that examine the developments of seventeenth-century Reformed theology in particular."

âStanglinâs study is crisp, sympathetic, close to the primary texts and highly convincing.â

âThis well-focused study ⦠is a highly useful contribution to our understanding of the history of Reformed scholasticism.â

âKeith Stanglin's thorough and substantive analysis is a welcome reprieve from cursory and superficial conversations about "Arminianism."
