The Westminster Confession of Faith for Study Classes (G.I. Williamson)


The Westminster Confession of Faith is a valuable document, as it helps to "summarize and synthesize the whole teaching of the Scripture on a particular head of doctrine" (I discuss several confessions here).  The confession itself offers only declarations, not explanations.  In his book for study classes, G.I. Williamson walks through the confession, explaining each statement.  He references different Scriptures to prove and/or elaborate upon each confessional statement, and where appropriate, discusses common questions or conflicting viewpoints on matters of doctrine.

This is a great introduction to/explanation of the confession.  Williamson writes well and succinctly.  It's a good reference for anyone studying the topic.
