Jacobus Arminius (1560-1609) was a Dutch Protestant priest who from 1603 was professor of theology at Leiden in Holland. Arminius opposed John Calvin’s doctrine of predestination and asserted that forgiveness and eternal life are bestowed on all that repent of their sins and believe wholeheartedly in Jesus Christ. His theology is referred to as “Arminianism."
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, embraced Arminian theology and it became the basis of Wesleyan Methodism
