The theology of Dutch theologian Jacob Arminiushas been misinterpreted and caricatured in both Reformed and Wesleyancircles. By revisiting Arminius' theology, the book hopes to be aconstructive voice in the discourse between so-called Calvinists andArminians.

Traditionally, Arminius has been treated as a divisive figure inevangelical theology. Indeed, one might be able to describe classicevangelical theology up into the 20th century in relation to his work:one was either an Arminian and accepted his theology, or one was aCalvinist and rejected his theology. Although various other movementswithin evangelicalism have provided additional contour to the movement(fundamentalism, Pentecostalism, etc.), the Calvinist-Arminian "divide"remains a significant one. What this book seeks to correct is themisinterpretation of Arminius as one whose theology provides a starkcontrast to the Reformed tradition as a whole. Indeed, this book willdemonstrate instead that Arminius is far more in line with Reformedorthodoxy than popularly believed, and show that what emerges asArminianism in the theology of the Remonstrants and Wesleyan movementswas in fact not the theology of Arminius, but rather a development ofand sometimes departure from it.
This book also brings Arminius into conversation with moderntheology. To this end, it includes essays on the relationship betweenArminius' theology and open theism and Neo-Reformed theology. In thisway, this book fulfills the promise of the title by showing ways inwhich Arminius' theology--once properly understood--can serve as aresource of evangelical Wesleyans and Calvinists doing theology together today.
