Great resource to have for studying the historic beliefs of the christian church. My wife and I have used it, also, for "devotions," reading a short section together before we go to bed. Books contains the Apostle's Creed, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, Heidelburg Catechism, Belgic Confession, and the Canons of Dort. A brief history of each one is also given. It's helpful to have all of these resources in one book, and they are easy to read. Hard to find book, so buy it now, if available!

This is a great resource for any Christian, particularly those who are Reformed. Although I have been a Christian for around a decade and a half, I still learned quite a bit from this book; this book is helpful whether you know a lot or little about Christianity. It is helpful even when it says stuff that I already knew because as Christians - particularly after being a Christian for a long time - it can be easy to "get away from" the basics of your faith. It also answers interesting questions such as "if Jesus paid for our sins, why do we still have to die?" and "was it important that Jesus was crucified rather than killed in some other way?" I like how they justify their answers from Scripture. This book made me think even in cases where I didn't agree with the book.

For the price I do not think one could get a better printing of the 3 forms, if one is not adverse to it being paperback!

I really enjoy my copy. It even fits inside my Bible case's extra zipper pocket, so I can take it with me and refer back to the Scripture referenced in the confessions.

Used to looking at these confessions in PDF form, I am more than pleased with the size, portability, readability and sturdiness this printing this affords.

If you are Reformed or interested in things Reformed, you cannot do without a copy of these particular confessions and creeds!
