Hey, kids! Want to play a game? I was looking over my book shelves, and — well, here’s one you didn’t see on Sesame Street.
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong.
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
Before I finish my song?

Don't have the two bottom books myself. One of them I don't really have plans to read.

One of them doesn't have a picture of a man with a beard. Did I get it right?

Aside from one doesn't have a picture of a man with a beard, Charles Finney would be the only one not born in Europe.

You’re all right. Also, though you wouldn’t know it from the picture, one is a paperback. (Unfortunately, the legacy is more enduring than the binding.)

Charles Finney- the father of modern Arminian Theology surely DOES NOT belong there.

That’s right, Finney is the paperback!
You give him too much credit, though. John Wesley (I would say) is the father of American Arminianism. Finney is the father of something much worse: revivalism and salesman “evangelism.” He is also the American godfather of the moral government theory of the atonement (see here). He is, without a doubt, America’s heretic laureate.
