Theological Opinions
Perkins was a proponent of "double predestination" and was a major player in introducing the thought of Theodore Beza to England. He was responsible for the publication in English of Beza's famous chart about double predestination. In addition to adopting a Reformed soteriology, he also strongly held to the doctrines of sola Christi and sola Scriptura which "serve as the twin foundation stones for what Perkins conceived as biblical preaching."
