Confessio Prolixior: Excerpts from the Longer Confession

This resource presents excerpts from Gottschalk's ninth-century confession on predestination, translated by Rev. Ronald Hanko for the Protestant Reformed Theological Journal. The confession articulates a robustly Reformed understanding of God's eternal decree regarding both the election of the godly to salvation and the reprobation of the wicked to judgment, grounded in God's immutable nature and sovereignty. This historical document provides valuable theological witness to predestinarian doctrine in the early medieval church and its continuity with later Reformed confessional standards.
