by Campegius Vitringa (Author), Levi Berntson (Translator)
In exactly one thousand statements, Campegius Vitringa presents the Christian faith as it has been taught and cherished in the Reformed tradition. In his time as a professor, Vitringa used these aphorisms as an outline for his theological lectures, stimulating his students to explore the truths of Scripture further. Clear and concise, The Fundamentals of Sacred Theology is a seventeenth-century gem that instructs "us about God and the ways of God for sure comfort in this life and salvation in the next."

In exactly one thousand statements, Campegius Vitringa instructs us in the Christian faith as it has been taught and cherished in the Reformed tradition. This compendium of theology originally served as an outline for his theological lectures and a catalyst for his students to further explore the truths of Scripture. But this is more than just an example of a textbook from a bygone era. The Fundamentals of Sacred Theology is a seventeenth-century gem meant to "instruct us about God and the ways of God for sure comfort in this life and salvation in the next."
