This book, updated every five to seven years, presents a commentary on the practices of the Christian Reformed Church as governed by synodical regulations and the Church Order.

Author Henry DeMoor has been teaching the Christian Reformed Church Order at Calvin Theological Seminary for decades. Over that time, he has not only become deeply knowledgeable about the Church Order but has answered countless questions from CRC members on how to interpret it in specific situations. In this book DeMoor instills all that accumulated wisdom for the Christian Reformed Church. Following the Church Order, DeMoor comments on the history, meaning, and purpose of each article, followed by a sampling of practical questions he has answered over the years. For officebearers and all those who want to deepen their understanding of the Church Order, this handy reference tool provides practical guidance on how to interpret and apply articles in real-life situations.

Basing this work on his own full-scale Systematic Theology, Berkhof summarizes the body of church doctrine, beginning with the doctrines of Scripture and God and proceeding through statements on anthropology, Christology, soteriology, and more.
