“Pope of the Classis”?

The Leadership of Albertus C. Van Raalte in Dutch and American Classes
By Leon van den Broek

Book cover“Pope of the classis” was a name critics gave Rev. A. C. Van Raalte. It is usually not a compliment when Protestants call each other Pope; this word has been a weapon in ecclesiastical battles. Is it true that Van Raalte acted as Pope of the Classis of Holland? This book studies, among other issues, Van Raalte’s attitude in the Dutch classes and his influence in classical matters, both in the Netherlands and in the United States.
