The Arminian Theological Studies Collection (5 vols.) introduces a compilation of works on the theology of Arminianism from two of today's top professors on the subject matter. Robert E. Picirilli and F. Leroy Forlines bring you a solid perspective on Reformed or Classical Arminianism. They find the basis of their theology not from Wesleyan Arminianism, but from biblical exposition and the teachings of Jacob Arminius himself. These five books cover the fundamental themes of salvation, justification, sanctification, perseverance, and election from a Free Will Baptist perspective. The Arminian Theological Studies Collection (5 vols.) is not only a great read for scholars, pastors, and students, but is aimed towards the modern reader who wants a deeper understanding of Arminius' ideas and doctrines that created the Free Will Baptist church.

Robert E. Picirilli, in Grace, Faith, Free Will, renews the discussion of issues that have divided Calvinism and Arminianism since the Reformation. Jacobus Arminius, a Dutch Theologian of the 16th century, contested the dominant theological ideas advanced by the well-known Protestant reformer John Calvin and his disciples.

No generation of biblical students has ever failed to appreciate Paul's epistle to the Romans as being the very finest presentation of Christian doctrine ever written. On the one hand, here is the Spirit's own inspired presentation of the need, provision, and meaning of redemption. On the other hand, here is the keen mind of Paul at his very best in arguing and expounding the central truths of Christian teaching. Would you understand man's sin? God's law? The Jews' history? Jesus' death? The sinners' salvation? The Christian's life? You must go to Romans if you would. No presentation of these, or many other Christian doctrines, will be complete unless the light of Romans shines brightly therein. One wonders what would be the power and integrity of Christianity without Romans. Romans is certainly worth becoming thoroughly familiar with. We offer these thirty-nine lessons to help you achieve that end. Product Details Title: Romans Author: Robert E. Picirilli ...

Galatians has often been called "The Magna Carta of Christian Liberty." It was said to be Martin Luther's favorite book in the Scriptures, and so has been identified as the foundation of the Protestant Reformation. The importance of this epistle grows from the fact that it deals with the most basic Christian doctrine: the means of justification. It is important that all Christians master the truths taught in this epistle. Product Details Title: Galatians Author: Robert E.

When theology begins with God’s eternal will and knowledge, determinism tends to result. In God in Eternity and Time, eminent scholar Robert Picirilli argues we should look first to God’s creation and the incarnation—to the created order where God has chosen to act and reveal himself. As God’s decrees and foreknowledge in eternity are then read in light of his acts in time, God’s interactions with human beings on the personal level of influence and response clearly reveal themselves.

Discipleship is a great read for those who have grappled with questions like: What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Is being a disciple of Jesus the same thing as being a Christian? What does a life of discipleship look like? Dr. Picirilli provides practical answers and applications for the reader through an exhaustive study of what the New Testament writers said about the requirements for salvation. He offers sound, comprehensive exegesis demonstrating that repentance, obedience, and discipleship are biblical expressions of saving faith. Dr, Picirilli presents a thoroughly scholarly approach to dealing with the Greek grammar, relevant textual issues, and contrasting interpretations on topics ranging from assurance of salvation, apostasy, backsliding, holiness, sanctification, and sin. He also shares important implications of how we should present the gospel, offer assurance of salvation, and incorporate proper church discipline.

Whether man has free will continues to be a hot topic among Bible teachers and theologians. After defining the issues involved, from both a worldview and a biblical standpoint, this work devotes three chapters to exploring the single-volume treatments against free will by the great theologians Luther, Calvin, and Edwards. The author then responds to the major issues involved in their objections to free will: foreknowledge and necessity, human depravity and the grace of God, the sovereignty and all-encompassing providence of God, and Edwards's rationalistic argument. In each instance, the doctrine of free will, rightly understood, is in full and biblical accord with these concerns. A concluding chapter summarizes and expresses the bottom-line differences in the doctrine of salvation between the Arminian and the Calvinistic wings of reformed theology.

Dr. Paul Harrison has written the commentary on the epistles of the two brothers of the Lord, James and Jude. Robert Picirilli has written on Peter's two letters, having had strong interest in 2 Peter, at least, since the dissertation dealt with some of the exegetical problems in that epistle. Some difficult passages occur in these four books: the apparent conflict between Paul and James on justification by faith, Jude's use of apocryphal literature, 1 Peter's reference to Christ's preaching to the "spirits in prison," and others. Even so, the authors are convinced more than ever that these "general epistles" are very practical for our day and will richly repay careful study.

The Corinthians letters are, perhaps more than any others in the New Testament, for churches and pastors. They deal with the problems of church life and with the way Paul, as the pastor par excellence, wrestled with those problems. Second Corinthians, in particular, presents us with a side of Paul we almost do not see elsewhere. Here Paul reveals his "down" side, if you please: the fact that he suffered not just externally but internally experiencing distress and uncertainty. Paul was no superman. Even so, the letter also shows us what kept him going, even when closer to defeat than we might like to consider. Among other things, he understood that he was, in reality, marching in the triumphal procession of the Lord Christ. Product Details Title: 1, 2 Corinthians Author: Robert E.

The eschatological epistles of 1 and 2 Thessalonians; Philemon, one of the Prison Epistles; as well as 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, the Pastorals, make up the content of this commentary. These inspired epistles, all from the pen of the Apostle Paul, cover a time frame from approximately A.D. 50 to A.D. 66 according to Dr. Robert E. Picirilli. These key New Testament epistles afford us invaluable insights into the customs, practices, problems, and doctrines of the early Christian church. They also reveal considerable details about the life, travels, imprisonment, and ministry of the Apostle Paul. Commentary on the eschatological epistles gives the serious student of Scripture food for thought in confirming or challenging his views of Christ's Second Coming, end-time events, and the man of sin. The pastoral epistles, sometimes referred to as the ecclesiastical letters because of their emphasis on church administration, offer keen insight, instruction and qualifications for church...

Jonathan Edwards: A Reformed Arminian Engagement provides a fresh perspective on the theology of one of the most influential thinkers in American Christianity.

However, this book brings together a collection of essays that reconsiders his theology from the vantage point of Reformed Arminianism.
