Description: "Forty years ago the Board of Reformed Fellowship commissioned nine men, who today would be considered a 'Who's Who' in Reformed theology, to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Synod of Dort.  Under the leadership of the editor, Dr. Peter Y. De Jong, these giants in the faith wrote on a variety of topics regarding this great event in Reformed history.  Their contributions brought to the Christian community a greater understanding of the history and necessity of the Synod of Dort, the key figures involved in the Synod, and the application of the decisions made at the Synod to the tumultuous times within the church during the sixties.  Each article reflected not only the expertise of the writer, but also his love for the Reformed faith..."

With these words Wybren Oord, editor of The Outlook, begins the introduction to this new printing of Crisis in the Reformed Churches. Forty years after the original publication, this book has been reprinted in a new, attractive format.  Completely re-typeset and with numerous corrections to the original text, this hardcover book will be valuable resource for those interested in the formation of the doctrine of grace.

Contributing authors: Peter Y. De Jong; Simon Kistemaker; Fred H. Klooster; John Murray; Edwin H. Palmer; Louis Praamsma; Klaas Runia; Cornelius Van Til; Marten H. Woudstra.
