My first reaction to this book was “Why hasn’t someone thought of this before?” In seven columns across facing pages are parallel passages from the Westminster, Belgic and Second Helvetic Confessions; the Heidelberg and Westminster Longer and Shorter Catechisms; and the Canons of Dort. The selections are arranged topically, under the doctrines of God, man, Christ, salvation, the Church and the last things. The annotated bibliography briefly discusses significant theological works from the Reformation to the present. All who value the Reformed theological heritage, particularly those who preach and teach, will quickly find this harmony an especially useful resource.
