Charles Finney's book on Systematic Theology inroduces and reinforces the true Sovereignty of God in such a way that the reader can take the teaching from each page and apply it to ones life in a edifying,uplifting and faith increasing manner.Finney's truthful representation of the Trinity gives the reader hope in the words of Jesus (Matt 7:7-8)

In this review I mean no ill will towards those who may hold Finney in high regards and I write here in love.
Finney certainly did advance far beyond the Cal/Armin debate, as one review noted. I believe Finney to have taught full orbed Pelagianism (see below).

I first read Finney because of references to him in the works of A.W. Tozer (one of my favorite authors). Finney's life may have been Spirit-filled, but his understanding most certainly was not. I object to the reviewer who compares him to Jonathan Edwards--Finney takes his lawyer's mind and twists the scripture to fit his understanding of justice. His theology is indeed rational and logical--but it is in no way biblical. He proves that "the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing" (1 Cor. 1:18). ... Read More
