The Practice of Faith, Hope, and Love (Classics of Reformed Spirituality)
Publisher's Description
Pagan philosophers of old spoke of virtues of justice, self–control, prudence, and courage as necessary for a civil society. However important these may be, Scripture tells us that Christians have three chief virtues necessary for living a truly virtuous and godly life before God: faith, hope, and love.
In this book, Godefridus Udemans carefully explains the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, using them as standards and guides for cultivating faith, hope, and love in our hearts. Udemans particularly excels in demonstrating the practical relevance of these teachings, making this not only an overview of Reformed doctrine but also a handbook for living blessedly forever.

By their closeness to Scripture and their concern for heart and head (heat and light), they remain of enduring value.”– Iain H. Murray, author, The Puritan Hope
“I am so pleased that these Dutch classics are now available to a wide audience. the writings of the Netherlands’ Further Reformation—almost completely inaccessible until now to the English-speaking world—are a gold mine of spiritual wisdom.”– Richard J. Mouw, President, fuller theological Seminary
Iain H. Murray
author, The Puritan Hope
“In the fine translations made available here, one sees the ecumenical nature of Reformed spirituality and the close relationship between the church and true believers. The sources of the Further Reformation deserve greater recognition. The heritage of Reformed Protestantism contains hidden treasures for which we in our modern era should be grateful and of which we could make use with profit.”– Willem van ’t Spijker, Theological University of Apeldoorn
Richard J. Mouw
President, fuller theological Seminary
