British Delegation and the Synod of Dort (1618 - 1619), The
Overview: Drawing on new sources discovered in English and Dutch archieves, this volume provides a wide-ranging collection of edited documents [many previously unpublished] which make it possible for the first time to construct a thorough and fully contextualized account of the role played by the British delegates.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 of 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. A substantial introduction argues for a major reassessment of the role of the British divines at the synod, and emphasizes the importance of the event in allowing historians to study detailed interaction of British and continental thinkers at a vital period in the emergence of an "Anglican" identity.
