3rd Edition

The Voice of Our Fathers is the most extensive commentary in English on the Canons of Dordrecht (1618–19).

Positively, the Canons state and explain thoroughly and carefully the doctrines of grace on the basis of Scripture. Negatively, they defend these doctrines by exposing and rejecting errors that contradict and militate against the teaching of Scripture.

The author treats the text of the Canons article by article, clarifying the translation where necessary and explaining both the positive teaching and the rejection of errors. Moreover, the volume also contains historical sections and documents that help to clarify both the history and the issues involved in the meeting and work of the Synod of Dordt.

The Voice of Our Fathers can either be used as a resource to be consulted when required, or it can be read from cover to cover. Either way, the reader will gain a better understanding of God’s sovereignty is salvation as expounded in the Canons of Dordt.

Homer C. Hoeksema (1923-1989) served as a minister in the Protestant Reformed Churches (149-1955), and then as a professor at the Protestant Reformed Theological Seminary (1959-1989). He is also the author of Redeemed with Judgment: Sermons on Isaiah, in two volumes.
