Narrative To Books Westminster Confession Of Faith w/ Catechisms (1646-7) (and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, Directories for Public and Private Worship, Form of Presbyterial Church Government, the Sum of Saving Knowledge)
The Westminster Confession of Faith is the greatest of all the creeds of the Christian Church. Since its first publication in 1646 it has remained absolutely unsurpassed as an accurate and concise statement of Christian doctrine. Among all the shifting sands of theological opinion here is solid truth, for it has its foundation in the unchanging truth of Scripture--witness the copious references from the Bible which are printed on each page. Because of its faithfulness to Scripture the Confession has permanent worth and abiding relevance.The Church of Christ cannot be creedless and live. Especially in an age of doubt and confusion, it is her duty to define the Christian faith and to proclaim it to the world. Nowhere has the Reformed Church done this so effectively as in The Westminster Confession of Faith. While always recognising the supreme place of the Word of God in all matters of faith and practice, one can always turn to the Confession as one's subordinate standard. Here readers will find spiritual treasure; here too they will find comfort and strength.
Also contained in this volume are the magnificent Larger and Shorter Catechisms, The Sum of Saving Knowledge, The National Covenant, The Solemn League and Covenant, The Directory for the Public Worship of God, The Form of Presbyterial Church Government, and The Directory for Family Worship.

Superb. I thought the 1689 London Confession was brilliant, but this is even better.I can't believe that I was never assigned to read these Westminster goods before, not in any church theology class or systematic theology class at four different Bible training institutions. The Confession and Catechisms are not only historical headwaters, they are actually helpfully clear. I can't agree with every line; I've not been persuaded into Presbyterianism by the proof-texts. But again, this is a great set of documents.
Great resource containing all the essentials with scripture proofs, without the intrusions of any American modifications.
Just stunningly wonderful to read and study. I have enjoyed reading WCF especially with all the scripture proofs. Wow. Amazing to read the 'roadmap' where all the doctrine of the Presbyterian reformers is laid out in a framework for understanding Scripture.
An accurate and concise statement of Christian doctrine.
Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing?I had got until age 23 without reading it cover-to-cover. What are the odds? Somebody at NSA should assign it since it's so short.
How could you ever truly finish a work so incredibly biblical as this? Though Ive read the pages, the reality is, is that this book ought to be read with a mind set on meditating upon the Word of God. It may seem doctrinally cold, but honestly doctrine plainly stated for a saint is like listening to the most beautiful music alive, you cant stop listening to it. This work is intended to be read throughout the course of the Man of Gods life, and to distribute it plainly to his family.
