    Confessing the Faith: A reader's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith

    This accessible

    biblical

    and thoughtful work digests years of study and teaching into bite-sized sections. Van Dixhoorn's work is historical and practical in its focus. It deliberately presents readers with more than another survey of Reformed theology; it offers a guide to a particular text

    considers its original proof-texts

    and seeks to deepen our understanding of each paragraph of the Confession.

    Confessing the Faith: A reader's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith

    God's Ambassadors: The Westminster Assembly and the Reformation of the English Pulpit

    1643-1653

    For more than ten years the Westminster assembly was one of the major institutions of England

    Scotland

    and Ireland. Members of the assembly were involved in every significant political debate of the decade

    and the public blamed or blessed the think-tank for radical changes in the church. At home and abroad

    people perceived the assembly to be a powerful patron. Christians wrote from Europe to ask the assembly for advice. Visitors made their way to the abbey

    from an unknown Muslim to the elector palatine of the Rhine. Printers and booksellers promoted the works of the synod's theologians and members were paraded down London streets and feasted at banquets. \n\nThe story of the Westminster assembly's accomplishments

    as well as its failures

    are told in the texts of this edition. The gathering left behind an extraordinary testimony of its reforming activities

    and the manuscript minutes constitute one of the most important unpublished religious texts of seventeenth-century Britain. All surviving votes and debates of the assembly are provided here for the first time. This edition documents almost 2

    000 examinations of preachers for churches

    fellows for colleges

    and heretics for heresy. It also includes all known assembly papers

    many of them only recently discovered. These texts reveal much of the assembly's work behind the scenes

    and explain how the gathering could at once serve as an icon of godly rule

    producing classic texts in the history of Christian doctrine and practice

    while simultaneously becoming entangled in prolonged debates and the 'democratic anarchy' which characterized the British Revolution.
