This is a collection of the documents produced by the Westminster Assembly. I like that the proof texts are given in complete as footnotes, rather than just the verse numbers.

The documents included are:
The Westminster Confession and Catechisms
The Sum of Saving Knowledge
The Directory for Public Worship
The Directory for Family Worship
The Form of Presbyterial Church Government

In addition, it includes the National Covenant and the Solemn League and Covenant.

I love the Westminster Confession. It's such a great distillation of what the Bible actually says about God, sin, salvation, etc. The problem I have with this particular publication is that the publisher cites John Calvin as the author. Sorry, wrong century, wrong place, wrong language. It was written by the Westminster Divines. Check it out on wiki. A fascinating history!

A plus for theology, C for translation (several typos throughout the Book). Excellent resource for the Reformed Christian as well as the Arminian. It will give the reformed a greater understanding of their doctrine and it will help the arminian see there flaws ;^)
