	Who Was Arminius? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Arminius became allied to a regent family and his convictions on the relation of church and state were the same as that of most regents.
		Arminius taught that faith itself was imputed to the sinner for righteousness, whereas the earlier teaching had stressed that it was the object of faith, namely Christ and His righteousness, that was imputed to the sinner.
		Arminius' teaching turns faith from an instrument that rests on the work of Christ to a work of man, and tends to change faith from that which receives the righteousness of Christ to that which is righteousness itself.

		Thus, "Not only does Arminius not explain the subordination of the Son in terms of the Son's designation to office, he also implies that the office of the Mediator is constituted by God the Father alone" (p.
		This hint of subordinationism in Arminius' understanding of the mediatorial office of the Son is more pronounced in his claim that the Son receives His deity, and not merely His personality as Son, from the Father.
		And, "What Arminius seems to have done is to have taken the side of the patristic argument which argues some subordination in order in the Godhead and to have developed it into the basic principle of his view of the Trinity.

	Arminian - Tulipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Primarily it refers to a system of doctrinal distinctives which originated from the disputes raised by Jacob Arminius against the Dutch Reformed schools and traditions in the sixteenth-century, doctrines which were further developed and propagated by his followers from the seventeenth century through to today, beginning essentially with the Remonstrants of 1610.
		Jacob Harmenszoon was born on October 10, 1560, in Oudewater, near Utrecht.
		In 1592 a colleague (Petrus Plancius?) formally accused Arminius of the heresy of Pelagianism, deviance from the Belgic Confession and Heidelberg Catechism, and erroneous views on predestination (an accusation which was not systematically raised until he was professor of theology at Leiden, his principal opponent being Gomarus).

	Book Reviews
		Muller suggests that Arminius was less influenced by Ramus than is frequently suggested, and that instead the influence of the metaphysics of the Spanish Jesuit, Francis Suarez, is more pronounced in Arminius' theological method.
		Arminius was typical of his generation in being more open to the method and interests of medieval scholastic theology; he was atypical in the conclusions that he reached.
		Arminius was, however, unusual in that he advocated seeing our knowledge of God as also speculative (having knowledge of an object for no further reason).

		Inasmuch as Arminius, like all the other ministers, had pledged to uphold and preach the doctrines set forth in the Confession, this was a serious offence, and he was challenged concerning it.
		The teachings of Arminius were shown to be without true biblical foundation, and the "5 remonstrants" were answered by five articles of scriptural truth set out by the synod.
		Just as the teaching of Arminius became known as Arminianism, so the position of the reformed churches and the synod of Dort became known as "Calvinism", and the five articles that were presented in opposition to the new teaching of Arminius became known as the "five points of Calvinism".

	Arminius, the Scapegoat of Calvinism
		Lars Qualben in A History of the Christian Church states that Jacob Arminius and his followers taught "Man was not totally depraved and could therefore co-operate with God in the spiritual regeneration"[p.
		On account of this transgression, man fell under the displeasure and the wrath of God, rendered himself subject to a double death, and deserving to be deprived of the primeval righteousness and holiness in which a great part of the image of God consisted.
		Arminius did not object to saying, "the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us," but he did object to saying that "the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us for righteousness." He wanted to avoid saying that Christ's righteousness is a cloak over our unrighteousness.

	[No title]
		The teaching of Jacobus Arminius came about as a result of his belief that the teachings of John Calvin, with respect to the role of God in salvation, were not correct.
		Jacobus Arminius would deny that he was a proponent of Pelagian heresy, because he did not teach against the concept of original sin as did Pelagius, but the fact remains that the two schools of belief are very similar and ultimately lead to the same actions by believers.
		It is not sure if Arminius understood the ultimate conclusion of what he proposed, in that he stripped God of His sovereignty, making Him subservient to His creation rather than His creation subservient to Him.

	Dort Pitted Calvinists Against Arminians (The Unjust Killing of Oldenbarneveld)
		Arminius himself downplayed differences for the sake of peace and because of his promises, although he tried to get the Heidelberg Catechism and another Dutch confession amended.
		Of course, I'm sure you recognize that Oldenbarnevelt's arrest and execution was the result of the political battle being waged between the States-General and the States of Holland, and not the result of the theological battle being fought by the church synod (as the OP implies).
		Well, at least this piece acknowledges that Arminius was a liar who said what he had to say in public to be able to subvert students to theologies contrary to what he publically confessed to be true.

	Who are you calling a Calvinist/LUSH FAMILY PAGE
		Late in the 1500's, a Dutch theologian named Jacob Harmensz found himself no longer in complete agreement with the view of God and man and salvation that had become widely held in Reformed churches and universities.
		In 1618, a synod was called in the city of Dort to evaluate and respond to the teachings of the "Arminians." Emerging from this synod in 1619, "The Canons of Dort" answered the five objections of the Remonstrance and reaffirmed the biblicity of Calvin's teaching.
		Equally untrue is the notion that Calvin and Arminius were narrow-minded scholars whose cold logic drove them both to ignore about half of what the Bible says in order to produce theological systems through which any casual reader of the Bible can see.
