This collection of essays include winning prose, meticulous scholarship, and above all heartfelt love for the Canons of Dort, arguably the most neglected of the Three Forms of Unity. Authored by many of the leading figures of the Reformed church in the latter half of the 20th century, this book brings historical context to this towering testimony to Reformed truth, helping the reader understand the significance of the Canons then and now. Highly recommended for all who love the Reformed faith.
