From April to August, 1991, five editorials were placed summarizing the Dutch Second Reformation (Nadere Reformatie) movement of the seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century. Recently I was asked to write a paper on the lessons that the church of the 1990s could glean from this movement The article below is a synopsis of this paper, submitted with the prayer that God may grant us revival in our dark day so that we may return in true humility with broken hearts and contrite spirits to the scriptural foundations our Dutch forefathers have laid.
