"The Anatomy of Arminianism" is a theological work authored by Pierre Du Moulin, (1568 – 1658) a Huguenot minister in France who also resided in England for some years. The book engages with the theological positions of Arminianism, offering a critical analysis and detailed examination of its doctrines. The book explores various aspects of Arminianism, including predestination, election, and reprobation.
Du Moulin, drawing from the bible and a wide range of sources and prominent theologians, presents a comprehensive critique of Arminian beliefs. He addresses key theological concepts, such as the role of sin in predestination, the nature of God's election, and the basis for God's choosing of certain individuals for salvation.
Throughout the book, Du Moulin references the writings and teachings of influential figures like John Calvin, Philip Melanchthon, and Augustine to support his arguments. He also examines different perspectives on the doctrine of predestination, highlighting the contrast between Arminian views and those of Reformed theology.
Du Moulin's work aims to shed light on the theological differences between Arminianism and the Reformed tradition. It engages in theological discourse and presents a critical evaluation of Arminian doctrines, making it a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and individuals interested in the theological debates of the era, which still resound in our time.
