De Brès vs. Richardot: A Reformation Debate
If there’s one Reformation figure who deserves more attention, I would argue that it’s Guido de Brès. Since I wrote my dissertation on the Belgic Confession (later published as For the Cause of the Son of God) in 2010, I’ve invested more effort in researching and writing about its author and his work for the gospel. A few years ago, one of my projects was to translate and annotate one of the debates that de Brès had while he was in prison awaiting execution. This was published in the 2010 issue of The Confessional Presbyterian. Today, in commemoration of the 500th birthday of the Reformation, I’m pleased to offer you the full text of the debate, along with my introduction and notes: “De Brès versus Richardot: A Sixteenth-Century Debate Regarding the Lord’s Supper.”
