An article commemorating the 450th anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism and focusing on LD 12

Recorded during Conference 2014: “Correctly Handling the Word of Truth: Reformed Hermeneutics Today.” It is common to speak of the two books of God’s revelation: the book of Scripture (special revelation) and the book of creation (general revelation).

Kamphuis responds to this speech.

Recorded during Conference 2014: “Correctly Handling the Word of Truth: Reformed Hermeneutics Today.” This address revisits the issue of the authority and function of the church’s creeds and confessions in the interpretation of Scripture.

This speech offers a defense of a confessional hermeneutic in the face of contemporary challenges. Dr. Dean Anderson responds to this speech.
