Johannes a Marck - Short treatise on Christian godliness, for the instruction in truths and refutation of errors - Rotterdam, Nicolaas Topyn, 1714 - 724 pages - 16.5 x 11 cm

Johannes à Marck was a representative of the Nadere Reformatie and Reformed orthodoxy in the 17th–18th century.
Their works were influential in the Dutch Reformed tradition and were used as textbooks at universities and by pastors.
The short essay is a condensed version of his larger dogmatic works, intended as an accessible overview.

The book served as a dogmatic handbook for students and pastors, in which the core truths of Reformed doctrine were outlined and deviations (the 'deviations') were refuted.

Content:
Systematic treatment of Christian doctrine (God, Christ, salvation, the church, sacraments).
Strong emphasis on polemics against other movements (e.g., Remonstrants, Socinians, Catholics).
Written in a concise, doctrinal style, intended for education and apologetics.
