Jacobus Arminius

Jacobus Arminius^[1]^ (1560-1609), was a Dutch Reformed theologian and professor of theology at the University of Leiden. He is most noted for his departure from the Reformed theology of the Belgic Confession resulting in what became the Calvinist-Arminian controversy addressed at the Synod of Dort (1618-1619).

Life

Arminius was born Jacob Hermansen at Oudewater, Utrecht, on October 10, 1560. Taking a Latinized form of one's name was a custom of the time for theology students. His father died while Jacob was an infant, leaving his mother a widow with small children. A priest, Theodorus Aemilius, adopted Jacob and sent him to school at Utrecht. His mother was slain during the Spanish massacre of Oudewater in 1575. About that year Arminius was sent to study theology at the University of Leiden by the kindness of friends (Rudophus Snellius).

Arminius remained at Leiden from 1576 to 1582. His teachers in theology included Lambertus Danaeus, Johannes Drusius, Guillaume Feuguereius, and Johann Kolmann. Kolmann believed and taught that high Calvinism made God both

Jacobus Arminius, also called Jacob Arminius, James Arminius, and his Dutch name Jacob Harmenszoon (October 10, 1560 – October 19, 1609), was a Dutch theologian and (from 1603) professor in theology at the University of Leiden. He wrote many books about theological problems. Arminius is best known for his critique of the strict "high Calvinism" that emerged after Calvin's death, which argued that the Human Fall was predestined by God as part of the plan to save the "elect."

In his early years Arminius affirmed the traditional Calvinist view of predestination, holding that God had chosen those who were to be saved or damned even before Adam's fall. Gradually, however, he came to view this version of predestination as portraying God as responsible for evil and denying human free will in the process of salvation. Although he considered

Jacobus Arminius (; Dutch: Jakob Hermanszoon^[a] ; 10 October 1560 – 19 October 1609) was a Dutch Reformed minister and theologian during the Protestant Reformation period whose views became the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant movement. He served from 1603 as professor in theology at the University of Leiden and wrote many books and treatises on theology.

Following his death, his challenge to the Reformed standard, the Belgic Confession, provoked ample discussion at the Synod of Dort, which crafted the five points of Calvinism in response to Arminius's teaching.
