This book was released on 2016-12-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A solid breakaway from the theology of the middle ages, but nonetheless dated. It should not be designated a standard of orthodoxy. It will become apparent that not everything in this Confession can stand the test of the original Hebrew-Christian mindset demonstrated in the holy scriptures. We will discover that many remnants of unacceptable medieval theology have insinuated themselves into classic Reformed theology, here in the Belgic Confession as well as in the Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of Dort.

Download or read book A Faith Worth Teaching written by Jon D. Payne and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 450 years, churches throughout the world have been using the Heidelberg Catechism (1563) to instruct God’s people in foundational Christian doctrine. When Elector Frederick III (1515–1576) commissioned the preparation of a manual for instructing the youth and guiding the pastors and teachers of his domain, he could not have imagined the profound effect it would have on future generations of Christians. The most widely used, most influential Reformation catechism, the “Heidelberger” shines forth the blessed truths of the gospel in 129 questions and answers, beginning with the memorable, ever-enduring subject of our “only comfort in life and in death.” In A Faith Worth Teaching , edited by Jon Payne and Sebastian Heck, an array of faithful pastor-scholars celebrate the Heidelberg Catechism on its 450th anniversary with a collection of essays on its dynamic history, rich theology, and fruit-bearing practice that will be an encouragement to pastors and laypersons alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostles’ Creed claims that Christ “descended into hell,” but do we really believe that? Should we believe that? In this book, Daniel R. Hyde analyzes this controversial claim, bringing valuable light to this long confessed doctrine. He presents the arguments raised against the descent clause, discusses the various understanding of it throughout church history, explains how the Reformed churches have adopted it, and demonstrated the benefits of retaining it as a point of our Christian confession today. For those who question why Christians would believe in the descent of Christ, In Defense of the Descent is an informative and helpful guide. Series Description Explorations in Reformed Confessional Theology (editors: Daniel R. Hyde and Mark Jones) This series provides introductory volumes on statements in the Reformed confessions that tend to trouble modern readers. Each book examines confessional issues in four ways: exploring such things as variants, textual development, and the development of language within the documents themselves as well as within the context in which these documents were written. historically— exploring social history and the history of ideas that shed light upon these issues. theologically—exploring the issues of intra- and inter-confessional theology both in the days these documents were written as well as our day. pastorally—exploring the pressing pastoral needs of certain doctrines and the implications of any issues that cause difficulty in the confessions. The series is intended for educated lay people in Reformed congregations as well as ministers who must repeatedly teach and preach the doctrines in the confessions.

Book excerpt: A Reformed Presbyterian minister who is more familiar with the Westminster Standards takes a peek into the Belgic Confession to verify and celebrate the unity that the two traditions enjoy. He does not fall head over heel in love with it, but certainly comes to appreciate its beauty and warmth, as well as its biblical fidelity. Despite being more than 86 years older than the Westminster Confession of Faith, and lacking some of the more advance theological concepts that the Reformed Church of almost all stripes, now embrace, it remains a venerable statement of faith with articles that we can all confess together heartily.

Download or read book For the Cause of the Son of God written by Wesley Lloyd Bredenhof and published by Reformation Media & Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reformation is usually not associated with missionary fervor. Similarly, the confessions of faith produced by Reformed churches have seldom been viewed as missionary statements. This book argues for a reconsideration of these positions. The focus is on the Belgic Confession of faith written in 1561 by the Belgian martyr, Guy de Bres. Bredenhof argues that the Belgic Confession was an effort on the part of de Bres and the Reformed churches of the Low Countries to reach those they considered to be non-Christians. He demonstrates how the structure of the Confession represents a contextualized witness to sixteenth century Europe. FOR THE CAUSE OF THE SON OF GOD also looks at missionary uses of the Belgic Confession in the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, both from theoretical and practical perspectives. The church will surely be enriched by a more careful reflection on the relationship between confessions such as the Belgic and the call of Christ to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.
