Volume II: The Historical Books For 400 years, the Dort Bible [Statenvertaling] has blessed the universal church with not only a tried and true translation but also a revered running commentary from the best and most godly pastor-theologians of the 17th Century Golden Age. Preserved in the Early-Modern English text, this profound gift to the church was not only ordered by the Synod of Dordrecht 1618-1619 but was also approved by the Westminster Assembly 1645. The Historical Books rehearse the unfolding of covenant history from the Conquest to the Return from Exile. The books are divided into two sections, each presenting an infallible record of those events from a unique point of view. Section I does so from the perspective of the relentless failure of God’s people to keep the covenant, and how their disobedience follows them all the way into exile. Section II, from the perspective of hope in God’s unshakable promises, Israel is returned to the Land to rebuild the temple and fortify the walls of Jerusalem. The entirety of this Salvation History points to the Son of David who will come to bear the curses of the covenant, earn its blessings, and rule from his throne forever, all for the glory of God in Christ and his own. The inspired and infallible history recorded then has profound significance for God’s people today—for those who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. With over 58,000 comments on the 66 books of all Scripture, there is here a life-time of learning. For students of Holy Scripture, whether in their home or in the academy, the insights of Dort, time and again, will renew the mind, grip the heart and point the way for right living—the genius of the Reformation and the Further Reformation of the church.

The Wisdom Literature (Job through Song of Solomon)For 400 years, the Dort Bible [Statenvertaling] has blessed the universal church not only with a fresh and accurate translation but also its revered running from the best and most godly pastor-theologians of the 17th Century Golden Age. This gift for God's people, covering all of Scripture, was approved by both the Synod of Dordrecht 1618-1619 and the Westminster Assembly 1645.This the third volume in the six-volume set, preserving the original 17th Century text, consists of the Wisdom Literature (Job - Song of Solomon). In these documents, at the center and heart of the entire Bible, those who are thirsty are invited to drink deeply from the waters of salvation. To receive the embrace of the Christ-who is, who was and who is to come-who satisfies the believer's deepest longings and sets the tone for faithful covenant living within the grand history of redemption.Taking a break from the Rembrandt Gallery, Volume III contains a second gallery entitled, "In Word and Worship," depicting exhibits of Scripture and worship resources from the Reformation and the Further Reformation period. The rediscovery of the truths of God's Word and the reforming of worship were always on the hearts and minds of churches of the Reformation.The Dort Scholars were well aware that one may apprehend the facts of the covenant, its promises, stipulations and sanctions. It is possible to understand the entire historical record and that all of Scripture is about Christ, but yet remain detached from its promises and blessings. The Wisdom Literature speaks directly to the heart and precisely into your everyday walk for true appropriation of life in Covenant with God.The Wisdom Literature (Job through Song of Solomon

Volume IV: The Prophetic Books For 400 years, the Dort Bible [Statenvertaling] has blessed the universal church not only with a tried and true translation but also a revered running commentary from the best and most godly pastor-theologians of the 17th Century Golden Age. This special gift for God’s people, covering all of Scripture, was approved by both the Synod of Dordrecht 1618-1619 and the Westminster Assembly 1645. The prophets were covenant messengers for Israel’s Sovereign God. Royal messengers are not self-appointed as such but are called and equipped by the king to deliver his messages. The prophetic writings, frequently prosecuting covenant lawsuits, let us hear in greater detail what was forth-told and foretold in addition to excerpts in the historical books. The prophets raise issues such as the antithesis, the treatment of the marginalized in society, the essence of faithful worship practices and the problem of evil. Proclaimed most pointedly is the coming Day of the Lord in judgment due to the unbelief of Israel and the nations, as well as in promise of immense blessing upon the faithful. Clear testimony is given as to how the latter would be accomplished only by the arrival of the Messiah, whose coming was foretold from the beginning. With much of the most vivid and dramatic revelation in Salvation History, the four Major Prophets differ from the twelve Minor Prophets only for length, not in importance. The highly learned analyses and observations of the Dort Scholars present inspiring material for a believer’s life-time of learning for the apprehension and all-of-life application of the Gospel.

The hurt and hatred overwhelming society is nearing a tipping point of enormous collapse.Parallels, from the unspeakable chaos of Europe enflamed in WW II to our own perplexing times, are striking as we see every-day Calvinists, in solidarity with the least of these, burning in the furnace, discovering a fourth man in the fire, and emerging without a hint of smoke on their long white robes.Dedicated to Charles Spurgeon and Martyn Lloyd-Jones-this book will touch your heart and point your family to a hiding place from the harrowing days pounding on our own front doors.

The Bedrock of the Great CommissionWhen one thinks of evangelism in the Old Testaments, likely figures such a Rahab and Ruth come to mind, along with others, trickling into the Promised Land to become part of God's covenant people. Surely these are a foretaste of Gentiles as well as Jews called to faith in Christ following the Great Commission.However, De Jong wonders: "Maybe we have been missing something very significant. Maybe we need to look for other manifestations of the connections between evangelism, sovereignty, and the Old Testament. I was cognizant of many places in the Old Testament where God had so designed events that the end result of those events became an empire-wide call for repentance and a call to worship the true God of the Israelites. Those amazing empire-wide proclamations will comprise some of the chapters as we proceed."In other words, as God was on the way to Bethlehem and Golgotha, he was already laying the foundation for World Missions.
