Charles G.
Finney papers (AZ 024). His theology of self-sanctification worries many staunch Calvinists, and Systematic Theologyperpetuates the Calvinist/Armenian debate. In 1927 to 1929, Finney served in China with the U.S. Army 15th Infantry Regiment (E Company), which would later inspire one of his novels, The Old China Hands. Special Collections, University of Arizona Libraries.
But the lectures are well thought out and address diverse subjects - moral law, love, government, depravity, atonement, justification, sanctification, election, perseverance of the saints, and many others. Finney is known as a heretic in many Christian circles, and Systematic Theologyreceives no lack of criticism.
