Description: This is the second volume of James T. Dennison’s Reformed Confessions  project, which compiles numerous Reformed confessions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries translated into English. For many of these texts, this is their debut in the Anglo-Saxon vernacular. It provides the English-speaking world a richer and more comprehensive view of the emergence and maturation of Reformed theology in these foundational centuries—foundational centuries for Reformed thought and foundational summaries of Reformed doctrine for these centuries. Each confessional statement is preceded by a brief introduction containing necessary historical and bibliographical background. The confessions are arranged chronologically, with this second volume presenting thirty-five documents covering the years 1552–1566.

" A comprehensive collection of the main statements of faith of all Reformed communities considered as orthodox (Waldensian, Zwinglian, Calvinist, and Anglican)…. A must for every library."
--Irena Backus

“…a highly significant collection…[and] substantial resource for the study of the rise and progress of the Reformed faith in the early modern era."
