arminianism
arminianism, which takes its name from jacobus arminius (jakob harmensen), is a moderate theological revision of calvinism that limits the significance of predestination. arminius (1560 – 1609) was a dutch reformed theologian who studied at leiden and geneva. he became a professor at leiden in 1603 and spent the rest of his life defending against strict calvinists his position that g-d’s sovereignty and human free will are compatible. he sought without success revision of the dutch reformed (belgic) confession; nevertheless, he was very influential in dutch protestantism.
a remonstrance in 1610 gave the name remonstrants to the arminian party. they were condemned by the synod of dort (1618 – 19), but later received toleration. english revisionist theology of the 17th century was called arminian, although possibly without direct influence from holland. john wesley accepted the term for his theological position and published the arminian magazine. the tension between the arminian and calvinist positions in theology became quiescent until karl barth sparked its revival in the 20th century.
