Valiant for Truth

Who in the world is Robert Rollock (1555-59)? Great theologians have the habit of disappearing beneath of tidal wave of time, the avalanche of new books always being published, and the relentless drove of new theologians being minted each generation. Nevertheless, Robert Rollock was an important sixteenth-century Reformed theologian whose writings deserve our attention.

Not too many people are likely familiar with David Dickson (1583-1663). Dickson was a Scottish theologian and contemporary of the Westminster Assembly. Dickson was one of the first moderators of the General Assembly in 1639 and was the co-author of the now famous Sum of Saving Knowledge. 

I recently read a book on a famous but perhaps now little-known Dutch Reformed theologian by the name of Petrus van Mastricht (1630-1706).
