As an international Synod, Dort had a significant impact on the definition of Reformed orthodoxy for decades and centuries to come. Despite its tremendous influence, the decisions of Dort remain a mystery to many today and are subject to false stereotypes about disturbing Calvin's pure theology. This volume seeks to shed light on various aspects of the Synod of Dort in order to inform the contemporary reader about its proper historical and theological context. Some of the leading scholars of post-Reformation Reformed thought and the Synod have contributed essays to this work. --Back Cover.
