Description
Hyde brings the the rich, historic Belgic Confession to life in its setting and in its ongoing, much needed relevance for today covering in detail each of its 37 Articles: solid, insightful truths taught about God, Christ, Scripture, Man, Salvation, the Church, and the End of this age.
"The Belgic Confession is one of the oldest Reformed confessions, a landmark for churches around the world. Daniel Hyde presents a commentary that is accessible and thorough, a resource for laymen and for ministers.
The Belgic Confession contains doctrine that is worth dying for, as its author and many adherents learned all too well. Opponents of the Belgic Confession have put its adherents to death because of this powerful document through which the church speaks its prophetic, biblical message to the world in which it exists.
Yet because this confession of faith has been neglected for far too long in the Reformed churches, author Daniel Hyde offers a necessary, fresh exposition and application of its doctrine in the twenty-first century, with the hope of setting the Reformed churches on fire for their historic Christian, Protestant, and Reformed faith in the midst of a cold and lifeless world.
The Belgic Confession is not a systematic theology but the historic and systematic confession of faith by the Reformed churches. With this commentary Danny Hyde has done the Reformed churches a great service by placing our confession in its historical, theological, and ecclesiastical contexts again. By reading it in the light of those contexts, he brings it to life for us in our time.
Anyone wishing to understand better the Belgic Confession on its own terms and as it has been received by the Reformed churches must consult this intelligent work.
It has been a long time since a Belgic Confession commentary of this caliber was last published in English. Biblical, historical, and erudite, Reverend Hyde helps the Confession speak freshly to our day. With Heart and Mouth will be warmly welcomed by pastors called to teach and preach the Belgic Confession (and also elders and laity)."
