FINDING COMMON GROUND AROUND THE RESURRECTION: REFORMED AND ARMINIAN HOPES FOR TRANSFORMATION

Event:
Speakers: Frank A. James, Roger Olson

Protestant Christianity has been divided between two perspectives on the human condition since the Reformation; these two perspectives can be found throughout much of Christian history even before the Reformation. Reformed-Calvinist Christians tend to emphasize the comprehensiveness and the corruption of human sinfulness while Arminian-Wesleyan Christians tend to emphasize the restoration and capacity of human freedom. At the same time, both perspectives affirm the human condition apart from Christ is hopeless; both agree that the cross, the resurrection and the Holy Spirit ground hope for redemption and renewal. Can they come together or must they remain separate streams of evangelical Christianity?
