Definition
Arminianism is the theological tradition that places human free will and conditional election at the center, in opposition to Calvinism. Named after Jacobus Arminius (1560-1609) and developed by the Remonstrants. In the corpus it functions as a contrast term in the debate over the scope of salvation and predestination, but none of the authors adopt it as a positive identity marker.
Usage in the Corpus
Stephen Jones
Jones criticizes Arminianism not on account of its emphasis on human free will, but on account of its shared premise with Calvinism: that those who are not saved will be eternally lost. For Jones the real opposition is not “Calvin vs. Arminius” but “universal restoration vs. partial salvation.” Both traditions fail because they reject apokatastasis. He describes it as a false dilemma: “Instead of questioning the Achan Doctrine of eternal torment, most doubted the doctrine of election and predestination!” [Jones, Creation’s Jubilee, Ch. 11]
George Warnock
Warnock rejects Arminianism as incomplete because it insufficiently accounts for sanctification and the manifestation of the sons of God in its soteriology. His emphasis on the necessity of the Feast of Tabernacles (full sanctification) implies that justification alone (the Arminian Passover point) is insufficient for the eschatological goal.
