A Synthesis and Critique of James Arminius's Declaration of Sentiments

---

Carl Bangs, a noted Arminius scholar, suggests that James Arminius should rightly be regarded as one of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformers. He argues that Arminius’s teaching on salvation falls within the bounds of sixteenth-century Protestant theology; that Arminius’s view of “sin and grace are in general agreement with the sola gratia—sola fide emphasis of the Reformers.”1 He argues that Arminius’s view of depravity does not differ from the view expressed by Calvin in his Institutes. Bangs states that it is Arminius’s view of predestination that is his point of departure from strict Calvinism. According to Bangs, Calvin’s view of predestination was not a universal teaching of the Reformed church, but was widely discounted outside of Geneva, even in his own time. He concludes that Arminius “articulates a position which he feels to be a valid Reformed theology of grace in harmony with the earliest sentiments of the Reformed churches in Switzerland and Holland, in harmony with the accepted Dutch confessions, and only partly divergent from Calvin himself.”
