Clear and concise, \u003cem\u003eThe Fundamentals of Sacred Theology\u003c\/em\u003e is a seventeenth-century gem that instructs “us about God and the ways of God for sure comfort in this life and salvation in the next.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Campegius Vitringa Sr. is a person few know today but who was a giant in his own day.

Informed by a close reading of Scripture and streams of deep theological thought, Vitringa’s work assists readers in knowing the Word of God.
