“Cor Harinck has provided a clear and well-written exposition of the Dutch Reformed Form for the Administration of Baptism. He demonstrates that the authors of this form had a masterful grasp of Reformed covenant theology—an understanding that needs to be recovered. Reading this book yields a genuine appreciation for the fact that this form is a jewel among the Reformed liturgical forms.”
—Bartel Elshout
