Canons of Dort (Question included)

DavidMikucki · July 23, 2021, 3:59pm

Okay, it’s weird that I’m posting this since I’m the one who has all the resources. but I have a question for anyone out there who is Dutch Reformed.

In The Canons of Dort, each chapter has both articles and rejections. That makes the shortcut syntax tricky, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to do that.

I’m thinking that dort 1 would take you to chapter 1, dort 1.9 would take you to chapter 1, article 9, and dort 1 r3 would take you to chapter one, rejeciton 3. But I don’t use this resource enough to know how people like to refer to parts of the document. I’d like the interface to be natural to those who reference it regularly in their work and discussions.

I grew up in the RCA, though didn’t reference this much. The link that David Lachut shared is probably a good resource. I can ask my Dad, though

I asked my Dad and he told me that he hasn’t referenced it regularly and that we should contact Calvin Seminary.
