The Secession of 1834 and Its Impact on Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and North America
Written by Cornelis Pronk
In A Goodly Heritage, Cornelis Pronk surveys the history of the Secession of 1834, beginning with the events leading up to this important spiritual movement and subsequently following its long journey through the Netherlands and North America until 1892. He then focuses on a small minority that decided to continue as the original Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken (CGK, which translates to English as Christian Reformed Churches in the Netherlands), considering its growth and how it formulated theological positions in relation to several other Reformed denominations. Throughout, special attention is given to the doctrines of covenant, baptism, and the Holy Spirit's ministry in applying salvation. This work not only explains the concerns of Secession leader De Cock and other fathers of the Secession. It presses beyond the early years of the reform movement to present a larger picture of the developments of Secession theology and the contributions made by its main representatives. The book also has a chapter on the origin of the Gereformeerde Gemeenten (and by extension the Netherlands Reformed Congregations).
Endorsement
"Neil Pronk has served the global church with this first grand overview of the Dutch Secession of 1834 and its aftermath through the 19th century. I say a service to the global church as the issues at stake are of all times and all places, and because in this book we see how God continuously raises up men and women to stand up for the true doctrine and for the true preaching of the Word. It took long before a book on this important event appeared in English. But now it´s there, and it sure was worth waiting for!" -- Herman J. Selderhuis, professor of church history and church polity, Theological University of Apeldoorn
