Girardeau and his classic work

John L. Girardeau (1825-1898), a southern presbyterian theologian and Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at Columbia Seminary.  Girardeau, who studied under James Henley Thornwell, was a strong Calvinist in the Westminsterian tradition.  Perhaps his most notable work is the book Calvinism and Evangelical Arminianism: Compared as to election, reprobation, justification, and related doctrines.   

My copy of this book is the 1984 Sprinkle Publication of 550+ pages.  It is a masterful rebuttal of the arguments and passages used in support of Arminianism.  Girardeau steadfastly adheres to the sovereign grace of God throughout the book as he shows the confusions, misinterpretations, and inconsistencies of evangelical Arminianism.

You should be pleased to know that Lance Marshall has just added an online version of Girardeau’s book to his growing collection of theology resources.  Thanks, Lance!  I have not seen this online anywhere else.
