摘錄

「要理解使這些改教家團結在一起的基礎性真理,最好的途徑大概是通過閱讀16-17世紀所寫的各種信經和信仰告白。「三項聯合信條」(three forms of unity),包括《海德堡要理問答》,《比利時信條》,和《多特信經》,為第一代改教家提供了也許是最清楚的共同信仰的解釋。同樣,「威斯敏斯德標準」(Westminster Standards),包括《威斯敏斯德信仰告白》,《小要理問答》,《大要理問答》,是17世紀作品的里程碑,將宗教改革的教義編纂成法典。」
Perhaps the best way to understand the foundational truths that united these different reformers is to read through the various creeds and confessions that were composed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The “three forms of unity,” consisting of the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession of Faith, and the Canons of Dort, provide perhaps the clearest explanation of the common faith of the first reformers. Also, the Westminster Standards, including the Westminster Confession of Faith and the shorter and longer catechisms, were a landmark seventeenth century work codifying the doctrines of the Reformation.
