And of this community I am and always will be a living member.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThis confession reminds us that, when we consider any part of the history of Christ’s church, we must view it from the perspective of the Triune God’s purposes to gather, defend, and preserve for himself, from among all the peoples and nations of the earth, a community of believers who were graciously chosen by him unto salvation. The church is a “glorious body” of those whom the Father has chosen in Christ, whom he has redeemed by the blood of his own dear Son, and whom the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, will unfailingly gather, protect, and preserve through the ministry of the Word of the gospel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eEven though this book deals with a relatively small part of the larger story of Christ’s church-gathering work, what it recounts must be viewed through the lens of this confession regarding the church. The history of the URCNA could be told in a way that fails to see how it belongs to the larger story of the way Christ gathers, defends, and preserves his church throughout history. It could be told in a way that views the URCNA’s formation as merely another chapter in a lamentable history that, as the well-known hymn, \u003ci\u003eThe Church’s One Foundation, \u003c\/i\u003eexpresses it, is often one of schism and distress (“by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed”). While the history of the church “militant” is often marked by division and distress, to be sure, it is always a history that is governed by the One who is “worthy to break the seals” of God’s great plan of redemption and re-creation (Rev. 5:5). Christ is the Lord of history, the triumphant Lamb who will not be thwarted in gathering his blood-bought bride, the church. Christ alone builds his church and does so with the promise that the “gates of hell will not prevail” against her (Matt. 16:18). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eAccordingly, the title of the book, \u003ci\u003eRoots Renewed, \u003c\/i\u003eaims to remind the reader that the story of the URCNA did not begin in 1995, when a number of CRCNA churches formed a new federation or denomination. The decision to form the URCNA was not made in a vacuum but took place in order to preserve a heritage that was cherished and believed to be worth preserving. This decision was also made, not merely to preserve Reformed churches in their biblical and confessional convictions but to do so with a view to propagating these convictions to future generations until the time of Christ’s coming at the end of this age. The history of the URCNA, therefore, is a history both of preservation and propagation, holding fast to the truths of Scripture and the confessions with a view to proclaiming them to future generations, even to the ends of the earth. Viewed from the standpoint of our confession regarding the church, the URCNA and its history belongs to the story of Christ’s work in gathering, defending, and preserving his church.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e~ Dr. Cornelis P.

In this fascinating collection of essays, godly men from the United Reformed Churches (URC) join forces to do just that, showing us what God has done for their denomination—their corner of God’s beloved Zion. For the last three decades, the URC has been committed to a tradition of fidelity to the historic Reformed confessions, and for that my heart rejoices. The history of the URC underscores orthodoxy and fidelity to the great tradition of biblical Christianity established by our forefathers. In the Heritage Reformed Congregations in which I serve, we have had the joy of developing a growing relationship with the URC over the years, one which I trust will continue to blossom in future decades (not least in our ecclesiastical partnership with them in NAPARC). Resist the temptation to think that this book is merely a manual of historical curiosities—it certainly is that, most notably in its overview of the history of the Dutch tradition in its manifold diversity from the 1834 \u003ci\u003eAfscheiding\u003c\/i\u003e until today. But it is much more than that. In fact, there is something here for everyone with a passion for theology—treatments on confessionalism, covenant theology, ecclesiology, missions, church planting, and debates about nature versus grace. If you are one of the 25,000 members of the URC, your reading of these essays will help mature your appreciation for your denomination. And if you are, like me, part of a sister denomination, then your appreciation for this federation of churches will be renewed. So let these gifted writers, pastors, and theologians tell you the story of God’s great work among His people for the last thirty years. Your mind will be enlightened and your soul edified.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eJoel R.

Yet the ‘impressionistic account and profile’ offered in \u003ci\u003eRoots Renewed\u003c\/i\u003e should not be dismissed as presumptuous.

And of this community I am and always will be a living member.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThis confession reminds us that, when we consider any part of the history of Christ’s church, we must view it from the perspective of the Triune God’s purposes to gather, defend, and preserve for himself, from among all the peoples and nations of the earth, a community of believers who were graciously chosen by him unto salvation. The church is a “glorious body” of those whom the Father has chosen in Christ, whom he has redeemed by the blood of his own dear Son, and whom the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, will unfailingly gather, protect, and preserve through the ministry of the Word of the gospel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eEven though this book deals with a relatively small part of the larger story of Christ’s church-gathering work, what it recounts must be viewed through the lens of this confession regarding the church. The history of the URCNA could be told in a way that fails to see how it belongs to the larger story of the way Christ gathers, defends, and preserves his church throughout history. It could be told in a way that views the URCNA’s formation as merely another chapter in a lamentable history that, as the well-known hymn, \u003ci\u003eThe Church’s One Foundation, \u003c\/i\u003eexpresses it, is often one of schism and distress (“by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed”). While the history of the church “militant” is often marked by division and distress, to be sure, it is always a history that is governed by the One who is “worthy to break the seals” of God’s great plan of redemption and re-creation (Rev. 5:5). Christ is the Lord of history, the triumphant Lamb who will not be thwarted in gathering his blood-bought bride, the church. Christ alone builds his church and does so with the promise that the “gates of hell will not prevail” against her (Matt. 16:18). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eAccordingly, the title of the book, \u003ci\u003eRoots Renewed, \u003c\/i\u003eaims to remind the reader that the story of the URCNA did not begin in 1995, when a number of CRCNA churches formed a new federation or denomination. The decision to form the URCNA was not made in a vacuum but took place in order to preserve a heritage that was cherished and believed to be worth preserving. This decision was also made, not merely to preserve Reformed churches in their biblical and confessional convictions but to do so with a view to propagating these convictions to future generations until the time of Christ’s coming at the end of this age. The history of the URCNA, therefore, is a history both of preservation and propagation, holding fast to the truths of Scripture and the confessions with a view to proclaiming them to future generations, even to the ends of the earth. Viewed from the standpoint of our confession regarding the church, the URCNA and its history belongs to the story of Christ’s work in gathering, defending, and preserving his church.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e~ Dr. Cornelis P.

In this fascinating collection of essays, godly men from the United Reformed Churches (URC) join forces to do just that, showing us what God has done for their denomination—their corner of God’s beloved Zion. For the last three decades, the URC has been committed to a tradition of fidelity to the historic Reformed confessions, and for that my heart rejoices. The history of the URC underscores orthodoxy and fidelity to the great tradition of biblical Christianity established by our forefathers. In the Heritage Reformed Congregations in which I serve, we have had the joy of developing a growing relationship with the URC over the years, one which I trust will continue to blossom in future decades (not least in our ecclesiastical partnership with them in NAPARC). Resist the temptation to think that this book is merely a manual of historical curiosities—it certainly is that, most notably in its overview of the history of the Dutch tradition in its manifold diversity from the 1834 \u003ci\u003eAfscheiding\u003c\/i\u003e until today. But it is much more than that. In fact, there is something here for everyone with a passion for theology—treatments on confessionalism, covenant theology, ecclesiology, missions, church planting, and debates about nature versus grace. If you are one of the 25,000 members of the URC, your reading of these essays will help mature your appreciation for your denomination. And if you are, like me, part of a sister denomination, then your appreciation for this federation of churches will be renewed. So let these gifted writers, pastors, and theologians tell you the story of God’s great work among His people for the last thirty years.
