Grace, Faith, Free Will addresses issues that have divided Calvinists and Arminians since the Reformation. Using historical, systematic, and Biblical theology, Robert Picirilli contrasts both views of salvation. His "Reformation Arminianism" reclaims the original beliefs of Arminius and his defenders.

* total depravity
* the sovereignty of God
* God's perfect foreknowledge of all, including the free choices of men
* a penal satisfaction view of a general atonement
* salvation by grace through faith alone, from beginning to end
* an apostasy that cannot be remedied
This is news to those who think Arminianism is right next to Unitarian Universalism, who think Arminius is the root of all liberal theology, or who think that the Wesleyan way is the only Arminian way there is. No.
Not much here on other Free Will Baptist doctrines, like credo-baptism or foot-washing - this is a book about salvation. Picirilli scrupulously cites his sources in, thank the Lord, FOOTNOTES! At the end of each chapter there are suggested readings with some helpful notes attached. I wish there was a comprehensive bibliography at the end, however. There are four indices: a scripture index, a subject index, an Arminius cite index, an index of citations from other authors. Quite helpful.
A great book. ( )
