Roger E. Olson

Roger E. Olson (b. 1952) is an evangelical Arminian and professor of theology at George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University. He has been on the faculty since 1999 and specializes in historical theology. Olson's theological perspective is considered "postconservative", similar to the thought of Stanley Grenz, yet defined differently than the postconservativism of other scholars such as Kevin Vanhoozer. His recent work entitled Arminian Theology: Myths And Realities defends his Arminianism against charges of Semi-Pelagianism while admitting it is synergistic in its view of salvation.
