Prolegomena

General Description

Bernardinus de Moor (1709-1780) studied at the great Dutch University of Leiden, under some of the great Reformed theologians of the age. He was especially attached to Johannes à Marck, and à Marck, shortly before his death, asked De Moor to continue his work, and perpetuate the tradition of orthodox Reformed Scholasticism.

 

“[Bernardinus de Moor] wrote a commentary on à Marck’s dogmatic compendium…which represents the most comprehensive dogmatic text that was ever produced in the Netherlands. In this work of seven volumes (1761-1778), de Moor classified and combined material from the Reformed dogmatics produced by his predecessors at Utrecht and Leiden into a whole.” --van Asselt, Introduction to Reformed Scholasticism

​

This first chapter is devoted to issues of theological prolegomena, a point of significant scholarly interest currently.
