You've probably heard about the Westminster Confession written by the Westminster Assembly, the 1689 London Baptist Confession penned by Particular Baptists, and maybe, the Savoy Declaration that Jown Owen contributed to. But how much do you know about the The Synod of Dordt? This gathering gets a bad reputation because of the many who use this time period with an axe to grind, not understanding the historical nuances. But this event was extremely important in Christian history. Join us as Dr. Don Sinnema takes us through a historical tour of The Synod of Dordt and shows us how central it is to understanding the discussion of God's sovereignty and man's responsibilty, even between Calvinists. You don't want to miss this episode!
