The spectrum of calvinism is larger than the synod of dort. Dort was after ARMINIUS' death. And Arminius was schooled after CALVIN'S death.

It was some time later, and Arminius was never kicked out of calvinism. Until his dying day, and after all his writings, he maintained his calvinist pulpit and his professorship at a leading calvinist university. During his lifetime he was always able to defend himself.

I'm considering a paper on this and posting it in the next few months.....the spectrum of calvinism in the first century of the reformation.

Therefore, those who really wish to have a more historical view should view it as a continuum with dortist calvinism far over on one side an arminian calvinism on the other.

Before you do, I would most sincerely suggest you read the following on-line, free-to-all, clear and concise, righteous book, "Reformed Doctrine of Predestination" by Loraine Boettner.

Here is a link to the book via the following chapter:

HISTORY OF CALVINISM

Therefore, those who really wish to have a more historical view should view it as a continuum with dortist calvinism far over on one side an arminian calvinism on the other.

Spoken like a true Liberal, always trying to rewrite history.
