About the Book

The Synod of Dordt (1618-1619), the international assembly which ended the yearslong dispute between Arminians and Calvinists, was a defining event in the history of the Dutch Republic. This collected volume presents new facts and analyses concerning the Synod, its context, and its legacy. It includes contributions on the Synod’s international character (Genevan delegation, James Ussher), biased historiography ( John Hales and Walter alquanquall), scholasticism ( Johannes Maccovius), philosophical ramifications, and Arminian theology. New, manuscript-based details about the formation of the Canons of Dordt are presented. Other papers examine the Canons' ascendency to confessional status, intentional pastoral style, and view on the salvation of infants. Finally, its reception in the Dutch context as reflected in prints and printed works is mapped out.

Review :
"De auteurs bouwen niet zomaar voort op de gedane geschiedschrijving, zij keren er ook weer achter terug. Tal van details zijn hierbij het object van onderzoek, sommige zaken die zelfs nooit eerder onderzocht waren. Het resultaat is voor mij duidelijk: deze bundel geeft een grote verdieping en verbreding voor het begrijpen van de synode en haar canones... Revisiting the Synod of Dordt vormt een prachtige voorbereiding op de herdenkingen die nog gaan volgen van de Dordtse synode." – Peter Wijnberger, in: Vox Voetianorum 35.3 (2011), pp. 60-63 "[This book] serves as an appetizer for the revisiting of the Dordt Synod in 2017-2018, when the fourth centenary of the Synod will be commemorated. [...] From many different perspectives the traditional black and white portrayals of the Synod are skilfully deconstructed." – Gijsbert van den Brink, in: Journal of Reformed Theology 8.2 (2014), pp. 208-209
