Across the history of Christianity, confession has carried both unity and diversity. This book traces how the simple declaration that Jesus is the Christ shapes faith, life, and the church today.
The discussion centers on the core confession, its development, and how different confessions arise. It considers both the hopes for unity and the reality of ongoing division, drawing out what this means for believers who seek clarity, humility, and faithful witness.
What you will experience:
Ideal for readers of theology and church history who want a clear, grounded view of confession and its place in the life of faith.

Excerpt from The Sacrifice of Praise: Meditations Before and After Receiving Access to the Table of the Lord
The favorable reception of these meditations by the reading public of the Netherlands was phenom enal; within four weeks the first edition was sold, and since then four others have appeared. The fifth edition, revised and increased by one chapter, is the one we Offer in the English language. These medi tations, before and after receiving access to the table Of our Lord, derive their name from Hebrews 13: 15, where the Apostle speaketh to his fellow Christians: By him therefore let us offer the sacri fice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit Of our lips giving thanks to his name.
