Recommendations to own a copy of the Westminster Confession 'The Westminster Confession is the last of the great reformation creeds. No creed of the Christian church is comparable to that of Westminster in respect of the skill with which the fruits of fifteen centuries of Christian thought have been preserved...It would also be dishonouring to the Holy Spirit, who has promised to be with His church to the end, to undervalue or neglect what is the product of His illumination and direction in the hearts and minds of His faithful servants. Other men laboured and we have entered into their labours."" -John Murray 'The truth the Confession expresses has the power to shape your thinking; its teaching will both stretch and clarify your understanding. In addition-and best of all-the pastoral wisdom of the Confession of Faith will help you to live the Christian life with the perspective magnificently expressed in the answer to the first question of the Shorter Catechism that accompanied it-glorifying God and enjoying him for ever.' -Sinclair B. Ferguson

The Confession of Faith was agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, with the assistance of commissioners from the Church of Scotland, as part of the covenanted uniformity in religion betwixt the churches of Christ in the kingdoms of Scotland, England, and Ireland. It was approved by the General Assembly 1647, and ratified and established by Acts of Parliament 1649 and 1690, as the public and avowed confession of the Church of Scotland.
