Overview

Hugo Grotius was an Arminian leader whose thought had a substantial impact on the Reformation. Imprisoned and exiled for his beliefs, he wrote extensively on the nature of Christianity and natural law, and his writings on apologetics were the first Protestant works of their kind. His groundbreaking governmental theory of atonement became a foundational point for the Arminian movement.

The Works of Hugo Grotius collection introduces readers to Grotius, one of the seventeenth century’s greatest philosophers and writers. His theological, political and legal work is heralded as the cornerstone of international law, setting precedents for maritime trade and establishing standards for human rights and just warfare. An influential writer in politics and theology as well as prose, Grotius prefigured Milton’s Paradise Lost with his own dramatic work on the fall of man. This 11-volume collection introduces you to some of Grotius’ major works and includes three biographies on this influential Dutch jurist.
