‘‘I'm thoroughly appreciative of this compilation by Chad Van Dixhoorn. At a few minor points I might want more, but this is a book worth owning both as a reference work and as an aid to your own spiritual growth. Among the positives of this volume: 1) Excellent succiinct introductions to the various works. No more than two pages each, the introductions set each creed, confession or catechism in historical context before briefly outlining their main points. 2) Reliable. No fiddling with the contents. Words are largely traditional, within reason. The "Holy Ghost" of the Apostle's Creed is wisely rendered "Holy Spirit." The "Holy Catholic Church" is footnoted with an explanation of "catholic." The old English "sitteth" is rendered "sits." Significantly, there is no diminution of the "He descended into Hell" clause either by exclusion, footnote, or reservation expressed in the introduction… 3) There is a 45-page Scriptural index at the conclusion of the volume. 4) Nice, elegant typesetting… a minor, almost churlish point, but for an obvious reference work--and a good one--thicker cover boards and better quality paper would be a nice touch. This is a multi-generationally useful work. It's not printed like one, however, beyond typesetting, though it does have a sewn binding.’ Nebti17
