Throughout Church history, many confessions of faith were written during a period of theological controversy. This is the case with the Canons of Dordrecht, which were written with the aim of refuting the errors of Arminianism and reaffirming the great doctrines of the sovereign grace of God.
The Reformed Christians of the 17th century were therefore put to the test and they had to take positions on various doctrinal questions. Was the Church of Rome right, after all, to emphasize that man must earn his salvation? Were the Anabaptists right in saying that man must first respond before God comes into his life? Was the sovereign grace of God in the salvation of men a fundamental doctrine?
This doctrinal study on the Canons of Dordrecht makes us rediscover all the richness of the heritage bequeathed to us by our fathers in the faith. It presents to us the glorious truths of God's sovereign grace and tells us of the entirely free salvation in Jesus Christ - by pure grace, without any consideration of our works - a salvation prepared from all eternity for God's elect and which will be certainly brought to its conclusion in the eternity to come.
