The Major Works of Herman Witsius

Herman Witsius (1636–1708) was Professor of Divinity in the universities of Franeker, Utrecht, and Leyden. A brilliant and devout student, he was fluent in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew by the age of fifteen, when he entered the University of Utrecht. He was ordained at twenty-one and served in several pastorates, filling both the pulpit and the academic chair with distinction over the course of his life. His three major written works are The Economy of the Covenants between God and Man, The Apostles’ Creed, and The Lord’s Prayer.

This summer, RHB is making the major works of Witsius available once again. The three titles can be purchase separately (The Economy of the Covenants, The Apostles’ Creed, The Lord’s Prayer), or all together at a reduced price(The Major Works of Herman Witsius). We are already taking prepublication orders on these, so you can secure yours now at our website.

R. Scott Clark has this to say about it:

“It is works such as these that take us beyond milk to the meat of the Word. If you want to know what confessional Reformed theology and piety looks like and how we understood Scripture before Barth turned the tradition upside down, there are few authors whose work will repay your investment of time and money more completely than Herman Witsius. Who should buy and read these volumes? Any elder, any minister, and certainly every Reformed seminary student. If you love your pastor and if he doesn’t have these works, you should make sure that he has them. If you know a seminary student who is studying to enter the ministry or otherwise to teach the Reformed faith, be sure that he has these volumes.”
