Abstract

Volume 1 includes the original Acta Authentica of the Synod of Dordt, here published for the first time. This national Synod addressed the Calvinist-Arminian controversy over the doctrines of grace--predestination and related points. Following the Acta Authentica, the corresponding acts, as first published in the Acta Synodi Nationalis ... Dordrechti Habitae (Leiden, 1620), are reprinted; these published Acta were a significantly revised version, for stylistic and political purposes, of the original Acta Authentica. Also included are the Acta Contracta, a topical summary of the Acta Authentica, and the minutes of the meetings of the state delegates, who represented the Dutch government at the synod; neither of these has been previously published. This volume begins with a general introduction to the Synod of Dordt and its context, an introduction to the Acta Authentica, the published Acta and Acta Contracta, and an introduction to the role of the state delegates and the minutes of their meetings. Forthcoming volumes: Vol. II/1: The Convening of the Synod; Vol. II/2: Early Sessions of the Synod; Vol. III: Deliberations after the Expulsion of the Remonstrants; The Canons of Dordt and its Formation; Vol. IV: Remonstrant Doctrinal Documents; Vol. V: The Judgments of the Nineteen Delegations on the Five Remonstrant Articles; Vol. VI: Other Discipline Cases, the Post-Acta Sessions, and Immediate Aftermath of the Synod; Vol. VII: Remonstrant Reports on the Synod; Vol. VIII: Journals and Reports of Foreign Delegates on the Synod; Vol. IX: Journals and Reports of Dutch Delegates on the Synod, Contemporary Letters about the Synod.
