A Declaration of the Sentiments on Predestination

Delivered before the states of Holland, at the Hague, on the thirtieth of October, 1608.


Jacobus Arminius explains the Predestination doctrine as taught by his opponents and offers his own reasons.


Jacobus Arminius, the Latinized name of the Dutch theologian Jakob Hermanszoon from the Protestant Reformation period, served from 1603 as professor in theology at the University of Leiden. He wrote many books and treatises on theology, and his views became the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant movement.
