The Reformation · 1618–1619
The Canons of Dort
The Synod of Dort
What it is
An international Reformed synod answers the Remonstrance under five heads — unconditional election, definite atonement, total depravity, irresistible grace, and perseverance.
Why it lasted
The definitive Reformed statement on grace, and the source of the five points later summarised by an acronym its authors never used.
