Reviews
"De auteurs bouwen niet zomaar voort op de gedane geschiedschrijving, zij keren er ook weer achter terug. Tal van details zijn hierbij het object van onderzoek, sommige zaken die zelfs nooit eerder onderzocht waren. Het resultaat is voor mij duidelijk: deze bundel geeft een grote verdieping en verbreding voor het begrijpen van de synode en haar canones...Revisiting the Synod of Dordt vormt een prachtige voorbereiding op de herdenkingen die nog gaan volgen van de Dordtse synode." Peter Wijnberger, Vox Voetianorum Vol. 35, no. 3 (2011) pp. 60-63.
