Can you continue the timeline? What prominent names today are good representatives of the Arminian viewpoint?
Hi SammyBoy,
I am not sure I know enough to do that. I do know some key Arminian names today. But the problem is I don't know enough about the 1900's and generally the picture gets broader and broader and it's hard to keep track. Some more recent Arminian Theologians that I have enjoyed are:
William Lane Craig, I. Howard Marshall, Scott McKnight, William Klein, Grant Osborne, Robert Shank, Ben Witherington III, Roger Olson, Jerry Walls, Joe Dongell, Brian Abasciano, F. Leroy Forlines, Robert E. Picirilli, Jack Cottrell, Roger Forster, Paul Marston, Keith Stanglin and Matthew Pinson.
My personal favorites are Craig and Picirilli.
God be with you,
Dan
Excellent timeline. Where did you get this or did you create it? It's excellent.
Hi Roy,
Glad you like it. I built it.
God be with you,
Dan
Good piece of work ... got it bookmarked
Just ran across this (behind on my surfing), very nicely done.
Thanks Trav & Kevin!
God be with you,
Dan
This is very helpful. And thanks for listing the recent Arminian theologians as well. I like Roger Olson and William Lane Craig. And Picirilli.
Thanks Donald. I tend to think Picirilli is underrated these days, but I really enjoyed Grace, Faith and Freewill.
God be with you,
Dan
Dan,
I have come to appreciate two notable theologians as having considerable influence in shaping my current theological view, Picirilli and Forlines. Grace Faith Freewill and Forlines Quest For Truth have been instrumental me me in the past few years. Forlines in particular has captured my interest with his baptist and classical Arminian insight.
Thanks Trav. I liked Quest for Truth as well. If I recall correctly Forlines doesn't call himself an Arminian, even though his views were in lock step with Arminian theology. Yet another example of a Baptist avoiding the name Arminian.
God be with you,
Dan
In the preface to The Quest, Forlines indicates that the work takes a distinctly Arminian presentation, what he calls "classical Arminianism". He makes the distinction between his view i.e. classical Arminiansim from that of the Wesleyan Arminianism. In that sense I think we can include Forlines as one who readily embraces his Arminianism. He may have changed since although I am not familiar with that.
My mistake. Sorry about that.
God be with you,
Dan
I found in a google books Philip Pugh's birth and death dates that you might want to add to your timeline. (1817-1871)
Nice work,
Steve
