Synod of Dort
Calvinist counter-Arminian council
The Synod of Dort was a church council held in the Dutch city of Dordrecht from 1618 to 1619, convened to settle a theological dispute within the Dutch Reformed Church.
The synod rejected the teachings of Jacobus Arminius and his followers, who emphasized human free will in salvation, and affirmed the doctrines summarized as TULIP: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints.
These became defining tenets of Calvinist theology.
