Description
The author explores the many dimensions of the Netherlands Reformed Church's story, from its famous splits of 1834 and 1886 to its colorful and divisive theological camps to a hopeful renewal of the church in the mid-twentieth century. Also included are incisive explorations of such topics as new confessions, church order, and liturgical renewal.
Originally written for a series introducing today's Netherlanders to religious groups in their own country's history, this volume presents a unique opportunity for the English-speaking world to hear Dutch Reformed history told from inside the Netherlands.
