A superb theological exposition of articles 22-37 of the Belgic Confession (1561), a great Reformation creed penned by a pastor later martyred for his faithful witness.
With the publication of volume 2 is completed a full-scale, Reformed commentary on the Belgic Confession, of which there are only a few in English today. This book is not a summary of the Confession, nor a compilation of sermons loosely based on the Confession, but a commentary. It explains the Confession, article by article, doctrine by doctrine. Volume 2 begins with the Confession’s opening article on the doctrine of salvation, continues with the Confession’s lengthy treatment of the doctrine of the church and concludes with the Confession’s explanation of the doctrine of the last things—eschatology. Volume 2 covers Articles 22-37 of the Belgic Confession and includes indexes for both volumes.
An excellent short commentary on a short NT epistle: II Peter, covering God’s exceeding great and precious promises, etc. (ch. 1), heretics and their wicked ways (ch. 2), and the last days and our calling (ch. 3).
