"With this book Marvin Kamps, a minister in the Protestant Reformed Churches, has made a major contribution to our understanding of the Secession of 1834 and of the man used by God to spearhead this mighty movement of the Spirit in the Netherlands during the early nineteenth century." --Rev. Cornelis Pronk"1834 is a masterpiece of Reformed church history. Well-written and the product of countless hours of research, it was a delight to read." --Dr. Wes Bredenhof"Because Hendrik de Cock and his writings are largely unknown today by the majority of the members of the Dutch Reformed denominations in the English speaking world, this book is important for making available to English readers a brief biography of Hendrik de Cock and his role as a leader of the Secession of 1834. It is especially valuable because approximately one half of its pages consist of Kamps' translations of key writings by De Cock and several of his defenders and opponents." -- Dr. Eugene Heideman, Former Dean of Western Theological Seminary
