About this book
The Synod of Dordrecht (1618–1619) has monumental significance for Reformed churches. While officially assembled for the provinces of the Netherlands, it gathered an international cast of delegates to solidify a pan-European accord on Reformed doctrine. In this book, readers gain valuable historical perspective from Donald Sinnema, the world's leading authority on the Synod of Dordt. Sinnema opens with a helpful overview, summarizing the agenda and proceedings of four phases of the synod to capture the scope and magnitude of the gathering. Then Sinnema tackles various aspects of the synod with astounding detail and analysis. You will learn of procedural wranglings, dealings of church and state, how the Belgic Confession and Heidelberg Catechism were involved, disagreements among the delegates, and plenty about the consensus document known as the Canons of Dordt. A standard resource on the synod for years to come.
