What Is Calvinism? A Simple Explanation of Its Terms, History & Tenets
“What is Calvinism?” Any attempt to give just one answer is sure to be wrong.
Why this article on Calvinism and three articles on Arminianism? Two variants of Reformed theology--Calvinism and Arminianism--comprise theological strands in historic Anglicanism. While self-identified Calvinists and Arminians in Anglican and Anglican-tradition churches would prefer that there was only a single theological strand, the earliest of the three historic Anglican formularies--the 39 Articles of Religion of 1571 was compiled by a moderately Reformed English Archbishop and the two other historic formularies--The Book of Common Prayer of 1662 and its annexed Ordinal were compiled by Arminian bishops.What Is Classical Arminianism?

S. Lewis: Essay Collection, 204). What problem could he not solve? In short, he could not reconcile the seemingly mutually exclusive ways in which we are taught to make our requests known to God.
