Reviews
"Stanglin is descriptive without overtly desiring to adjudge orthodoxy, displaying an expert and precise ability to define complex scholastic forms of argument customary in academic discourse. [...] Stanglin writes well and his topic is worthy. His book should be used in Reformation studies in general and in courses that examine the developments of seventeenth-century Reformed theology in particular."
Jeremy J. Bangs, Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture, Vol. 77, No. 4 (December 2008).
“Stanglin’s study is crisp, sympathetic, close to the primary texts and highly convincing.”
Stephen Hampton, Peterhouse, Cambridge. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 59, No. 4 (2008).
“This well-focused study … is a highly useful contribution to our understanding of the history of Reformed scholasticism.”
Arnoud Visser, Utrecht University. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 61, No. 1 (Spring 2008).
“Keith Stanglin's thorough and substantive analysis is a welcome reprieve from cursory and superficial conversations about "Arminianism."
John Mark Hicks, Lipscomb University. In: Restoration Quarterly.
“This is a fascinating and detailed study of some of the essentials of Arminius’s thought.”
Linda Gottschalk-Stuckrath, Leiden. In: Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 87, No. 3 (2007).
“This excellent monograph is now the place to begin for English-language readers seeking a scholarly treatment of Arminius on salvation.”
Douglas A. Sweeney Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In: Trinity Journal.
“To understand Arminius on salvation or, more generally, Reformed theology at Leiden during this period, this is the best resource available”.
