Heritage Recordings is an audio collection of previously unpublished, historic sermons and lectures by several Protestant Reformed ministers. Many of these recordings provide a rare glimpse into the history of the PRCA in the mid-twentieth century—crucial years regarding the survival of the denomination. Some of them have their origin in the controversy regarding the nature of the covenant. All of them are a ringing exposition and defense of the sovereignty of God in the salvation of his people.

REMEMBERING THE SCHISM OF 1953
The sermons and lectures listed below are in commemoration of the schism of 1953 within the Protestant Reformed Churches in America (PRCA). The issue at that time was the gospel of salvation by sovereign, particular grace in regards to the covenant of God with the children of believers, as signified and sealed in the baptism of infants. The two main warriors of that controversy were Herman Hoeksema (defending an unconditional covenant, the view currently upheld and taught within the PRCA) and Hubert de Wolf (defending a conditional covenant). To learn more about the doctrine of the covenant of grace, click here. For more historical context, click here for a timeline of important events and dates pertinent to the schism of 1953.Â
