Publisher's Synopsis
There are few contemporary collections of reformed devotional and theological confessions outside of scripture being used in the protestant church today. The confessions that follow are revised and re-formatted from original works by Saint Augustine, John Calvin and Martin Luther. Just like the current movement of re-casting older theologically-rich hymns into contemporary forms, these have been updated to be both more poetic and 'accessible' in language - considering the idea that a majority of the originals were not in English to start. All have been edited from works in the public domain and are adapted here for use in both private worship and in the church. Faithfulness to the original theological intent of the authors has been balanced with the need for an artistic/poetic approach in english that the original authors were unaware of in the original language of these selections. Feel free to adapt these works to your specific context! Individuals who have purchased this book may copy these adaptations for use within worship services, as long as they are not reproduced in email, recorded and transmitted, or reproduced on the web without permission. May you be richly blessed as you pursue the Trinity in your daily life. - Rob Alexander (Editor) www.trinitypartners.org
