Saving the Reformation: The Pastoral Theology of the Canons of Dort

Godfrey, W. Robert

Sanford, FL: Ligonier Ministries, 2019

This book is perhaps most valuable in providing a modern translation of the Canons of Dort, which very effectively renders its latinate sentence structure into modern English. While this translation has not been adopted by Synod, we strongly recommend using it when teaching the Canons. The book also covers the history and the content of Dort in an engaging and useful manner. Godfrey wrote his doctoral dissertation on the Synod of Dort, so he writes with an abundance of historical knowledge, as well as pastoral care. The Appendix on Arminius is a gem of scholarship!
