“What do you believe about God?
About salvation and redemption? About the Ten Commandments?” These are the kinds of questions young people are confronted with in today’s climate of religious pluralism. This book—originally
designed as a course for public profession of
faith classes—has been structured to help young people answer these questions and to confirm them in their own faith. It presents
an overview of the continental Reformed confessions known as the Three Forms of Unity: the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic
Confession, and the Canons of Dort.

This is the first exhaustive study of the Urim and Thummim since 1824, and in this book Professor Van Dam investigates all of the biblical data concerning them and their connection to the phrase “to inquire of Yahweh / God” in the historical books. He traces the use of the Urim and Thummim from the time of Joshua through the early monarchy under David and describes its apparent disappearance by the time of the classical prophets, where a shift to primarily verbal oracles occurs.
