The Belgic Confession (1561, with the original article 36), the Heidelberg Catechism (1563) and the Canons of Dort (1619): their origin, structure and use in the life of the church. It sets the three documents beside the Westminster Standards so students see where the two streams agree.
These lists, taken from the school's verified research, are studied on your own at your own pace. The school's own classes, written as full teaching, open one at a time.
