Description:
Description:
The focus of this book is to establish how one nineteenth-century evangelical group, the Brethren, responded to questions related to what is commonly known as Calvinism and Arminianism. The Brethren produced a number of colorful leaders whose influence was felt throughout the evangelical world. Although many critics have assumed the movement’s theology was Arminian, this book argues that the Brethren, with few exceptions, advocated Calvinistic positions. Yet there were some twists along the way! The movement’s radical biblicism, passionate evangelism, and strong aversion to systematic theology and creeds meant they refused to label themselves as Calvinists even though they affirmed Calvinism’s soteriological principles–the so-called doctrines of grace.
