Walaeus was one of the leading Dutch orthodox Reformed theologians of the seventeenth century and a key figure of the Dutch Further Reformation. He became prominent on the Contra-Remonstrant side as a preacher and helped formulate the Five Points of Calvinism in the Canons of Dort (Dordtse Leerregels). Appointed at the Synod of Dordrecht, he was one of the main translators of the New Testament and Apocrypha for the Dutch authorized States Translation (Statenvertaling).

His Opera Omnia, which was posthumously published with the help of his son Johannes, is divided into two volumes.
Volume I presents his biography, Enchiridion Religionis Reformatae, and the foundational Loca Communia of theology. Volume II includes his treatise on ecclesiastical office, defense against Arminian critiques, a Christianized Aristotelian ethics manual, and a miscellany of sermons, letters, disputations, and poetry. A rare and authoritative resource in early Reformation and Reformed orthodoxy studies.
