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.
Ronald Cammenga, editor (320 pp. Softback, £13.00)
This powerful book defends and promotes the Bible’s teachings on God’s sovereign grace as systematized in the Canons of Dordt (1618-1619) with a special focus on the gospel call, the covenant, reprobation and assurance. It also covers the significance, polemics, sessions and church polity of Dordt.
A brief commentary which emphasizes the comforting message of the Canons: being wholly saved by God’s grace comes with the steadfast assurance of eternal and unchangeable election.
