The Westminster Confession of Faith is the standard of Church beliefs for the Reformed churches worldwide. It is also the most comprehensive statement of biblically based Christian belief available. Here you have an excellent manual of Christian Doctrine, expertly unpacked by Robert Shaw.
This book is a practical aid to help us understand and apply the material in the Confession to our lives – making us live out our confession as individual Christians and as members of the worldwide church.

The Westminster Confession is the most accurate creed so far produced by the church. Many of its statements are short explanations of profound doctrine that need to be unpacked.

Robert Shaw's: "Reformed Faith: Expostition of the Westminster Confession of Fatith", is an excellent resouce for understanding the WCF. It is well written and organized bringing to bear many additional scriptures which further expound the given topics. The truth of the matter is that the Church of Jesus Christ must return to the old paths; that is, classic, foundational Christianity as commanded and taught by the Scriptures and as expounded by the WCF and other such reliable confessions. Shaw's work is an excellent resource to that end. I highly recommend it.

Shaw's work is an excellent PRACTICAL explanation of the Westminster Confession of Faith. It is far broader in scope than Williamson's work that tends to get bogged down in inter-nicene Reformed battles. Shaw stays focused on making clear and comprehensible the rich summary of Biblical teaching that is the Westminster Confession of Faith.
