Book Reviews / Journal of Reformed Theology 5 (2011) 105-125 109 Eduardus Van der Borght (ed.), Christian Identity , Studies in Reformed Theology, Vol. 16 (Leiden/Boston: Brill, 2008), viii + 514 pp., €93.00 (ISBN 9789004158061). This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th international conference organized by the International Reformed Theological Institute (IRTI). In the introduction, the editor pre- sents the various papers, capturing the essence of what each author means to express. At the end of his enumeration, he mentions two convergent trends that become distinct in the volume. The first one focuses on Christology (Christ being our identity); the second one concerns baptism. In several lectures there is a reference to Christian identity as being in fact baptismal identity (14–15). Unlike Van der Borght, I think that identity in Christ and baptismal identity are actually one and the same. Both “trends” identify our community in Christ as central. This is shown by several contributors either in biblical or early-church and reformed confessions. The best-known “mirror” of this confession is in the Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 1, Question 1, which is quoted or referred to by Van de Beek, Theron, Mostert, Koopman, Szűcs, Verboom and Vroom.
