The Westminster Confession is a
foundational document for countless churches worldwide. Churches of all sizes
claim it as their confession, and hold to it with varying degrees of closeness.
Its influence must not be underestimated. However, countless officeholders will
have vowed to abide by the Westminster Confession with only the most perfunctory
of understanding of its relevance to their situation. Ligon Duncan has assembled
an impressive array of contributors from a variety of ecclesiastical
backgrounds. The aim is simple--to enable the 21st Century to understand the
confession more fully, and so bring about the same kind of rugged, vigorous,
intelligent and self-sacrificing Christianity that was the result of its initial
publication over 350 years ago. In the first of what will be three volumes, the
topics covered include: Baptists and the Westminster Confession, Finney's attack
on the Westminster Confession, The Westminster Confession and the Relationship
of Church and State, The Holy Spirit and the Westminster Confession. |
