Jacob Arminius did affirm total depravity and the doctrine of sola fide, but he denied monergistic regeneration in terms of it's efficacy.
BTW, the author's treatment of Sproul's comments in Willing to Believe is misleading to say the least.

J. I. Packer concluded, "Thus, Arminianism made man's salvation depend ultimately on man himself, saving faith being view throughout as man's own work and, because his own, not God's in him." (39) Taken from the introduction of a 1958 reprint of John Owen's, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ. If you haven't read this before, take the time now, it is so edifying: Introduction
Because of Fru's observation of R.C.'s comments, I'd like to re-read this J.A. article again tomorrow paying attention to Louis Berkhof's references.

~~A good link detailing James Harmensen's life and exploits can be found here:
James Arminius
Did you ever wonder why James Harmensen changed his name to Jakob/James Arminius?
I guess he just preferred the Latin...~~
