Two of the main ones to me is that it's got an essay on whether Arminius was, or was not Reformed. I haven't read it yet, I'm just in the introduction, but it seems like an interesting question. The other essay at the moment that was very interesting was one that addressed the theological framework of Faustus Socinus, and walked through some of his thoughts. It was very interesting and helpful in general, more particularly for understanding the Puritans, especially John Owen. Owen is continually attacking Socinianism, and it helps to understand just exactly what the system was all about. And indeed, it was worth all the effort Owen put towards it.

The introductory essay is also interesting in making some connections between aesthetic truth adherence (i.e. postmodernism), and the state of America. Unfortunately the essay deviated onto another issue.

Here is a link to the table of contents.

who wrote the essay on aesthetics and postmodernism?

Carl Trueman. It's not extensive, but he has some interesting connections.

I finally got the chance to read through parts of it today at a library. I did find David Parnham's work "Mostions of Law and Grace: The Puritan in the Antinomian" to be quite interesting. Parnham has written other articles on the topic of Antinomianism that are quite helpful too.
