Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early decades of the seventeenth century, the direction of the Reformed faith hung in the balance. A group called the Remonstrants, followers of Jacobus Arminius, presented a petition that argued for a version of the faith that watered down many of the distinctive theological positions inherited from John Calvin and from Augustine before him. The petition caused controversy in the Dutch Reformed Church, and it demanded a response. In 1618, the church convened a synod in the port town of Dordrecht. There, the document known as the Canons of Dort was crafted. This remarkable document sets forth clearly and forcefully the Reformed understanding of salvation, which preserved the theology of the Reformation and provided the world with an elegant and powerful defense of the biblical gospel. In Saving the Reformation: The Pastoral Theology of the Canons of Dort, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey examines the background and activity of the Synod of Dort, providing crucial historical context. He then provides a fresh translation of the Canons of Dort from the Dutch and a new, pastoral commentary, allowing a new generation of readers to understand and appreciate this important text for themselves"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid 19th century many Germans migrated to the Midwestern United States. Many of them were influenced by the Reformation as well as the theology of John Calvin. When many of them settled in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, Adrian Van Vliet, a minister of First Presbyterian Church in Dubuque, Iowa made it his mission to train ministers for these new immigrants. Out of this effort came the University of Dubuque and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. A second result was the banding together of 85 churches who formed the German speaking Synod of the West under the authority of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). For nearly 47 years these churches reached out to the new immigrants and acted as an agent of change to not only evangelize them but also to introduce them into the American way of life and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) This is the story of that 47 year journey, from 1912 1959. Layout and Photographs by Jean E. Straatmeyer

Download or read book The Synod of Dort written by Joel R. Beeke and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Synod of Dort was an international conference of Reformed leaders held in 1618–1619 in the Netherlands. It is famous for its so-called Five Points of Calvinism which were a refutation of the Five Remonstrances of the followers of Arminius on the nature of divine grace and the perseverance of believers unto eternal salvation. As an international Synod, Dort made a significant impact on the definition and development of Reformed orthodoxy for decades and centuries to come. In countries such as France, the Canons of Dort served as a confessional boundary for Reformed orthodoxy and all pastors had to swear allegiance to them. Despite its tremendous influence, the decisions of the Synod of Dort remain a mystery to many today and are subject to caricatures and stereotypes of an extreme divine determinism and the hijacking of Calvin's pure theology. This volume seeks to shed light on various aspects of the Synod of Dort in order to inform the contemporary reader of its proper historical and theological context and its experiential emphases. Some leading scholars of post-Reformation Reformed thought and the Synod have contributed essays to this work. The book is divided into three major sections designed to deliver a better overall perspective on the Synod. The first section focuses on the reception of the Canons of Dort among the Reformed churches in France where they were accepted and enforced. However, there were some internal questions, concerns, and even objections to the canons which are detailed in these chapters. The second section hones in on the theology of the Canons of Dort with particular attention to the doctrines of election and the nature of the atonement. This section also includes an important chapter on the relationship between church and state, always a central concern in the Reformation and post-Reformation eras. Finally, the third major section looks at how believers could apply the theology to their daily lives and devotion to Christ. These chapters indicate that this was not merely a theological conference, but one that had practical and experiential implications as well. The book concludes with a chapter on the application of the Synod for believers today.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1838 edition. Excerpt: ... Reformation, by restoring to us the good word of God, has taught us to despair of the filthy rags of our own righteousness, to believe that "by grace we are saved, through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast."1 Instead of the mutilated and corrupted sacraments of the Romish church, the Reformation has restored to us the primitive, simple ordinances of the gospel. The papal priests refuse to give the cup to the laity, whilst the Saviour gave it to all, and as if foreseeing the corruptions of afterages, added the express injunction: "drink ye all of this cup: " for he appended no such injunction in reference to the bread. The Romish church believe that the bread and wine in the eucharist are no longer bread and wine, but are converted by the consecration of the priest into the real material body and blood of the Saviour, a doctrine contradicted by common sense, refuted by the concurrent testimony of all our senses of touch, of taste, of smell 1 Ephes. 2: 8, 9. and of sight. The Reformation has taught us to regard the ordinance not as a renewed sacrifice or mass; but as a mnemonic ordinance to commemorate the dying love of the Saviour, and to serve as a pledge of his spiritual presence and blessing on all worthy participants. The Romish church has also, since the days of Peter Lombard, in the twelfth century, added five other sacraments to the two instituted by our Lord, viz. Confirmation, (Protestants do not hold confirmation as a sacrament) Penance, Orders, Matrimony and Extreme Unction. Instead of vainly seeking remission- of sins from priests and papal indulgences, the Reformation has taught us that " no man can forgive sin but God only"1 and that none but "the Son of man hath...
