The Westminster Confession of Faith Study Book: A Study Guide for Churches (Joseph A. Pipa Jr.)

Description

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
