Master's Theses

In order to understand the similarities or areas of agreement between Milton's theology and that of the Arminians one not only has to understand thoroughly the five Arminian articles but also must be familiar with the theologies which produced them.

Hart Crane : An Explanation Of His Poems, Van C. Wall

Master's Theses
