Shipped professionally in a box. 'Edition of documents - many never previously published - shedding new light on the role played by the British delegates at the Synod of Dort. The Synod of Dort 1618-19 was one of the most remarkable and important gatherings of Protestant divines ever assembled. Summoned to resolve doctrinal disputes in the Netherlands it involved theologians from a number of other countries including Britain. The precise role played by delegates of the Church of England at the synod has been the subject of intense disagreement ever since. Drawing on new sources discovered in English and Dutch archives this volume provides a wide-ranging collection of edited documents many previously unpublished which make it possible for the first time to construct a thorough and fully contextualized account of the role played by the British delegates. Different sections of the book tackle the political and theological background to the synod the submissions of the British delegation on issues ranging from predestination and episcopacy to catechizing and bible translation and also the aftermath of the synod and the later defences of it by the British delegates. The primary source material is set in context by a substantial introduction which argues for a major reassessment of the role ofthe British divines at the synod and emphasizes the importance of the event in allowing historians to study the detailed interaction of British and continental thinkers at a vital period in the emergence of an 'Anglican' identity.'
