Confessing the Faith

A Reader's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith.
In Confessing the Faith, Chad Van Dixhoorn offers a fresh look at a classic
statement of the Reformed faith. The Westminster Confession of Faith finds
itself in the first rank of great Christian creeds. Presbyterian and Reformed
churches employ its doctrine for instruction; others acknowledge few texts to
be so useful in the ChristianÆs quest to glorify and enjoy God.
This accessible, biblical, and thoughtful work digests years of study and
teaching into bite-sized sections. Van DixhoornÆs 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.
Challenging hearts and minds, Confessing the Faith hopes to edify and instruct
both advanced and general audiences, as the authors of the Confession of Faith
surely hoped their magnum opus would do.
The author is an acknowledged expert on the history and development of the " Westminster Confession. The main strength of the commentary, however, lies in
the sure way Dr Van Dixhoorn unpacks the teaching of the Confession in the
light of GodÆs word and applies it with pastoral wisdom to the life of
believers today. æTolle legeÆ, pick up, read and sink the roots of your life
into the rich soil of biblical truth. ù Ian Hamilton"
