The Heidelberg Catechism - This catechism was written by Zacharias Ursinus (1534-1583) and Caspar Olevianus (1536-1584) in Heidelberg, Germany and published in 1563 in German. It was endorsed by the Synod of Dort and embraced by Reformed Churches in many different countries. It is the custom of many churches that use it to explain it from the pulpit every Sunday afternoon, so it is divided into fifty-two sections.

The Belgic Confession of Faith - This Reformed confession was prepared in 1561 by Guy de Bres (c.1523-1567), who was later martyred, and others, and then slightly revised by Francis Junius (1545-1602) of Bourges. First written in French, it was soon translated into Dutch and Latin. The Synod of Dort (1618-1619) made a revision but did not change the doctrine. It covers the spectrum of theological topics.

The Canons of Dort - These were produced by the Synod of Dort (1618-1619) as a response to Arminianism. (Dort is in Holland.) The Five Points of Calvinism produced here were in response to five points presented by the Arminians. The Synod was an international body and so made the Canons of Dort the most international of the Reformed documents.
