About the Author

Publisher's Description

This manual was written for the purpose of recovering with certainty and fullness the rich heritage of the Reformation faith. Whatever may be the weaknesses of this study manual on the Westminster Confession of Faith, the author can testify that a study of this Confession, as a body of doctrines provable from Scripture, has been of inestimable benefit to the faithful congregation that patiently studied--and thus helped to write--the lessons of this book. Should this manual assist others also to see that system of doctrine set forth in Scripture, all of the labors of its author will be abundantly rewarded. --from the Preface to the First Edition Useful, practical, succinct, and sound...still the best and safest work of its kind available. It serves to many purposes: church classes, home schooling, private study, family worship. The explanation of each chapter clearly communicates the gist of Reformed doctrine in a practical way, probing sufficiently deep to impart truths both old and new without becoming verbose. The appended questions will stimulate much thought and great discussion. --Joel R. Beeke
