Next volume of the critical edition of all the documents of the Synod of Dordt (1618–1619)
The Synod of Dordt 1618/1619 was one of the most important church councils in the history of the Reformed tradition. International delegates from all over Europe served as important participants and played a significant role in the evaluation of Remonstrant doctrine and in the formation of the Canons of Dordt. The Synod made important pronouncements on other issues such as Sunday observance, catechism instruction and theological education. Given the continuing worldwide historical significance of the Synod’s Canons and church order, the absence of a critical scholarly edition of the majority of documents of the Synod is remarkable. The Johannes a Lasco Bibliothek in Emden, a leading research center for the history and theology of Reformed Protestantism, has taken the initiative to edit the Acts and documents of the Synod of Dordt. The edition is organized as a RefoRC project, with the participation of other institutions and scholars in Europe and North-America.Vol. II/1 edits the Convening of the Synod.
Donald Sinnema is Professor of Theology Emeritus at Trinity Christian College, Palos Heights, Illinois.

The Convening of the Synod of Dordt. Edited by Donald Sinnema, Christian Moser, Erik A de Boer and Herman J. Selderhuis. Acta et Documenta Synodi Nationalis Dordrechtanae (1618-1619) II/1. Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2023. "The Synod of Dordt was perhaps the highpoint of international Reformed ecclesiastical cooperation and unity in the early modern period. It is an assembly that continues to have significance today and these volumes open up important new avenues of research into this understudied and underappreciated gathering. We can only hope that this ambitious project will one day come to full realization." - Jordan J. Ballor, Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy, Church History (Volume 93, Issue 3, September 2024)
