Advance Comment

The Belgic Confession is not a systematic theology but the historic and systematic confession of faith by the Reformed Churches. With this commentary Danny Hyde has done the Reformed Churches a great service by placing our confession in its historical, theological, and ecclesiastical contexts again. By reading it in the light of those contexts, he brings it to life for us in our time. Anyone wishing to understand better the Belgic Confession on its own terms and as it has been received by the Reformed Churches must consult this intelligent work.

It has been a long time since a Belgic Confession commentary of this caliber was last published in English. Biblical, historical and erudite, Rev. Hyde helps the Confession speak freshly to our day. Not only will With Heart and Mouth prove to be a helpful resource for Reformed confessors, it will also no doubt be warmly welcomed by pastors called to teach and preach the Belgic Confession.

Thanks to διαθηκη (—Greek for "covenant") for alerting us to the fact that the 16 vols (!) of Archbishop Ussher's Works are online via Google Books.

This is a wonder. Ussher was a vital part of the development of British Reformed theology leading up to the Westminster Assembly. The Irish Articles were not only influential on the development of the Westminster Confession but also upon the development of Reformed covenant (federal) theology.
