I recently listened to two out of three of Ware's lectures (March 2007) on providence and how it relates to human activity and responsibility.  I found them enlightening and encouraging.  They helped me think more biblically and clearly through some tough issues like libertarian free will and compatibilist views.

While his overall lecture had little to say directly about Charles Finney, it was interesting to note that Ware said Finney's theology wasn't a good representation of true Arminianism but more so of Pelagianism.  Too bad Finney's influence is so vast among preachers in America.

Ware's lectures aren't lightweight material and he says so himself.  But they're worth spending the time to think through.
