With distinctive cognizance to formerly overlooked fundamental assets, this ebook bargains stimulating insights into the tutorial context of Arminius, and, besides a comparative research of his colleagues at Leiden college, explores new horizons in his doctrines of salvation and insurance. Arminius' look for actual insurance of salvation emerges as a decisive think about his recognized dissent from Reformed theology.

In addition to the information in Bangs, Arminius, a good survey of the political landscape is available in Jonathan Israel, The Dutch Republic: Its Rise, Greatness, and Fall, 1477–1806 (Oxford, 1995); Christine Kooi, Liberty and Religion: Church and State in Leiden’s Reformation, 1572–1620 [Studies in Medieval and Reformation Thought 82] (Leiden, 2000).

First, it often goes unmentioned that the theological faculty agreed on the majority of theological topics; the differences they may have had on many topics would not have been unusual in any contemporary university, and either were slight enough to go unnoticed in disputations or were routinely considered to be indifferent matters.
