Book Review: Arminian Theology: Myth and Realities

Gary Johnson is guest blogging @ Pyromaniacs this week. He is currently reviewing Roger Olsen's new book: Arminian Theology - Myth and Realities.

  1. More of a response than a review, IMO. It doesn't provide an overall assessment or generalize about the book so much as it dives into the specifics, well at least one specific, of how Olson characterizes other theologians.

    Theology has not been a specialty of mine but I picked Olson's book up on a whim. I thought he did an effective job of explaining why he was writing and laying out the basic beliefs of Arminian theology, though more from a historical development perspective than a theological one. He frankly states his book is going to be light on exegesis and instead seeks to 'set the record straight' about Arminiaism. IMO, he does come across overly defensive.
