The Canons of Dort, also known as the Five Articles Against the Remonstrants, is a confession of faith that was written in 1618-1619 by the Synod of Dort. It is one of the most important documents in the Reformed tradition and is used to this day to articulate the Reformed belief in the doctrines of grace. In this webpage, we will explore the history and significance of The Canons of Dort and how they have influenced the Reformed Church.
Background:
The Synod of Dort was convened in the Netherlands in response to a controversy within the Dutch Reformed Church over the teachings of Jacobus Arminius and his followers, known as the Remonstrants.

The Synod of Dort was called to resolve this controversy and to provide a clear statement of faith for the Reformed Church.

The Canons of Dort are divided into five chapters, or “articles,” that address the key issues in the controversy between the Reformed Church and the Remonstrants. These articles cover the following topics: divine election and reprobation, the death of Christ and human redemption, the corruption of human nature and the free will of man, the perseverance of the saints, and the assurance of faith.
