Reformed Historical Theology, Volume 14 : God's Twofold Love - The Theology of Jacob Arminius (1559 - 1609)
Overview: The present study offers new insights to the understanding of Arminius's theoloy by identifying Jacob Arminius (1559-1609) as a theologian of the justice of God, or more precisely, as a theologian of God's twofold love. The author illustrates how these two characterizations are both valid, and whey they do not exclude but include all other characterizations that have been offered, by placing them in their proper perspective. In Part 1 the author posits that the leading motif of Arminius's theology lies in a careful defense of the justice of God. Part 2 considers the reception of his theology in the discussions between Remonstrants and Counter-Remonstrants during the Hague Conference of 1611. Finally, Arminius's theology is integrated into the context of sixteenth-century debates on the cause of sin and God's relationship to evil.
