The Theology of the Westminster Standards

Historical Context and Theological Insights.
For centuries, countless Christians have turned to the Westminster Standards
for insights into the Christian faith. These renowned documents - first
published in the middle of the 17th century - are still considered by many to
be some of the most beautifully written summaries of the Bible's teaching ever
produced. Church historian John Fesko walks readers through the background and
theology of the Westminster Confession, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter
Catechism, helpfully situating them within their original context. Organized
according to the major categories of systematic theology (Scripture, man, God,
Christ, salvation, the church, and the last things), this book utilizes
quotations from other key works from the same time period to shed light on the
history and significance of these influential documents.
Finally we have a solid analysis and an expert portrayal of the theology " of the Westminster Standards in which the time of its writing and its direct
influence are also described. John Fesko has gathered an enormous amount of
information that makes this book a sourcebook par excellence. He does the
church and its theology a great favor with this overview, helping us to
understand the Westminster Confession and catechisms not only in their
theological context, but also in their relevance for today. - Herman " Selderhuis
