Instead, he shows how the doctrines of TULIP should ignite a passionate pursuit of holiness. From the Synod of Dort to the fiery piety of the Dutch Reformation, Zornes dives into how figures like Wilhelmus á Brakel and Gisbertus Voetius lit a fire for godliness that still speaks to us today. If you think Calvinism is just dry theology, think again—this conversation will reignite your faith!

Before we focus strictly on the Reformation by Luther and his co-workers in Germany, we are going to look at the Reformation around the world. Much of these were sparked by Luther, but they took on a life of their own. This month, we look at one of the early enemies of Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and his attempt to create a theocracy in Zurich. Zwingli's mantle was quickly picked up in Geneva by John Calvin, who has about as much influence over the Reformation as Luther. Part of that influence included the creation of the Dutch Reformed Church after Calvin's death but ensconced in Calvin's teaching.

On today's episode, you'll hear Carl Bangs discuss the hymns of Charles Wesley. Carl Bangs was a professor of historical theology at Olivet Nazarene College and at St. Paul School of Theology. He served as president of the American Theological Society and the American Society of Church History. His work, Arminius - A Study in the Dutch Reformation, is a seminal contribution to Dutch church history and Wesleyan Arminian studies. Bangs graduated from pasadena College and Nazarene Theological Seminary and received a PHD from the University of Chicago.
In this series of episodes we will be discussing the Synod of Dort again along with the events that followed it. To do this we will continue reading through portions of an article by Kevin D. Young titled, "The Four Hundred Year Flower: Arminius, Dort, and the Battle for Grace" published on Desiring God. In this episode we will be discussing how the politics of the Netherlands surrounding the Synod of Dort dictated to how it was decided. We will also discuss how it was by no means a fair debate. We will also be discussing how the Synod of Dort defined what it meant to be "Reformed" in a way it was not clearly defined before. We will also discuss how the Arminian understanding of grace is different from the Calvinist understanding of grace. Finally, we will talk about what happened to the Remonstrant leaders after their "defeat" at the Synod of Dort.

In this series of episodes we will be discussing the Synod of Dort again along with the events that led up to it. To do this we will be reading through portions of an article by Kevin D. Young titled, "The Four Hundred Year Flower: Arminius, Dort, and the Battle for Grace" published on Desiring God. We will be discussing what DeYoung got right in the article and what he got wrong. Like many others he presents some popular Arminian myths as facts. Is it true that Arminius was a devoted Calvinist after graduating from Geneva? Is it true that Arminius became a humanist (?) after preparing for a debate with a Dutch Humanist? What did it really mean to be Reformed at the time of Arminius? Listen to join us in this conversation.
