Arminius: a study in the Dutch reformation

---

This is the best biography of Arminius out there, but there aren't that many. At times the language is dense, like it is a converted dissertation, but at other times the story is good enough to move the book along. Arminius was one of the most important personages in Christian theology, but, it is amazing how often he is ignored in theology and history texts. Usually there is a chapter on Calvin, but only a sentence on Arminius that usually appears in the chapter on Wesley. Which is unfortunate, but there are a few reasons why: (1) Arminius died early; (2) the Dutch were, by and large, Calvinists; and (3) Arminius's Latin is dense and logical and terse, though at times it aspires to good literature (oftentimes it is confusing and must be reread several times to ascertain the meaning).
