Confessing the Faith Today

Theology

“This fresh and lively reading of the Belgic Confession is doubly welcome. First, although the Belgic Confession is one of the great national confessions of the sixteenth century, very few commentaries on it have appeared over the past century. And second, Janssen not only explains the text of the Belgic Confession in its original context, but, more importantly, shows how it can still be confessed in our context today. On both counts he succeeds admirably.”

Martin Bucer

History & Biography

“Martin Bucer has often been considered a reformer ‘in the wings,’ standing in the shadows of his contemporaries Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin. In this volume, Donald McKim and Jim West lead Bucer from the wings out onto the main stage of the Reformation, lucidly portraying him as not only a theologian and churchman of the first order but also the premier Reformed irenicist of the first half of the sixteenth century.
