Westminster Confession Of Faith Study Book: A Study Guide for Churches [Paperback]

Joseph A Pipa Jr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 12, 2005

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. However, how many people actually have any real knowledge of the Confession or feel it is only of relevance to their church leaders?

Joey Pipa's study book is the ideal tool for all Christians who seek to gain a better understanding of their faith through exploring an integral cornerstone of Reformed Christianity. Pipa has produced an accessible, user- friendly study aid, which illuminates the Westminster Confession for all Christians, showing it is not just a document for intellectual theologians, but is as relevant in our own lives today, as when it was written.

Also includes The Westminster Confession of Faith, The Larger Catechism, The Shorter Catechism, The Belgic Confession, The Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of Dordt

I have found this book to be a great resource in teaching my family, preparing for teaching classes, and as an encyclopedic resource of reformed confessions. By printing a complete text with answers for the teacher in the back, this book puts great teaching within the grasp of any small group leader. Clergy will also benefit from the exposition of the confessions along with applicable biblical text. This must be on every Christian's book shelf!

This is a very good study of the Westminster Confession and Catechisms. However, the binding is not really sturdy enough for frequent use, which hinders its use as a study guide. Also, the fact that the answers are in the back of the book limits its use in more formal classes. But the content is great.

All believer's in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross should study this book. The Bible is the perfect foundation, however, this book helps to organize those thoughts into a logical order or Systematic Theology.
