The Missing Public Disputations of Jacobus Arminius
Introduction, Text, and Notes
Series: - Brill's Series in Church History, Volume: 47
Editor:
Jacobus Arminius (1559-1609) composed 61 public disputations during his brief tenure as professor of theology at Leiden University, 36 of which have never before been collected and published, and have been neglected by scholars for four centuries. This critical edition supplements the works of Arminius by presenting these texts in the original Latin, complete with notes and summaries in English. The texts are preceded by a helpful introduction to the genre of theological disputations. In addition, the question of disputation authorship is treated exhaustively for the first time, demonstrating Arminius's primary authorship of these documents.
Keith D. Stanglin, Ph.D. (2006) in Historical Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary, is Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at Harding University. He has published Arminius on the Assurance of Salvation (Brill, 2007), and co-edited Arminius, Arminianism, and Europe (Brill, 2009).
âThis edition makes a very welcome contribution to our understanding of Arminius. It enables his thinking on controversial subjects to be placed in the context of his wider theology, and it reminds us once again that Arminius must be considered an integral part of the developing Reformed tradition.â
Stephen Hampton, University of Cambridge. In: Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 92, No. 1 (2012), pp. 152-153.
âIt is particularly valuable that this edition includes thirty-six of the disputations that have never before been published, and have not been considered in research on Arminius, his theology and his influence.â
Herman Selderhuis, Theological University Apeldoorn. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 63, No. 3 (July 2012), p 622.
