Notes
1. The occasion for this post arose for the simple reason that, at the time of this writing (7 Sept. 2016), I have been unable to locate either a preview or a table of contents for The Promise of Arminian Theology on the publisher’s website (Randall House) or any other major online book retailer in North America (e.g. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook). The information contained in this post will be useful for prospective purchasers of this volume.2. I have taken it upon myself to replace Roman numerals with Arabic numerals. (As an aside, this volume [disappointingly] contains endnotes rather than footnotes.)
