TULIP Doctrines Reformed Theology
It was not until the early 17th century that a concise and formal document of the doctrines of grace appeared. A term that is very familiar to most Calvinistically minded pastors, theologians and scholars, arose sometime after the famous Synod of Dordtrecht (or Dort) convened. The Netherlands’ churches, after much deliberation over the period of a year, with constituents from other countries, finalized a document called The Articles of the Synod of Dordtrecht which summed up the confessional and Reformed doctrines of God’s graciousness against the rise of certain heretical doctrines plaguing the church at the time. These doctrines are known as the “doctrines of grace” formally, and are summed up in the acronym T.U.L.I.P. T.U.L.I.P. stands for Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. It has been said that this acronym came to light at the Synod itself, but this is not true. The term itself developed later, though the 5 points were readily distinguished in the 5 articles, or heads, of Dordt’s formulation of the doctrines of grace.
