The Westminster Confession of Faith once provided readers with clear summary statements of what all presbyterians believed the Bible taught. By the middle of the 20th century that certainly had become less so. For some presbyterians, the WCF's concepts became only an option among many they were willing to tolerate if not accept. What presbyterians once believed had no more than historical interest and surely no authority.
But what did several hundred year's of presbyterians believe? How come some presbyterian churches even today claim that heritage? What leads these people to insist that the WCF remains one of the clearest statements of the Bible's teaching? What do these presbyterians and presbyterians of history believe? Of what value is a confession of faith, anyway?
Dr Gordon Clark, a theologically-trained and aware eyewitness to most of the changes of presbyterianism in the 20th century, answers those questions. Originally appearing as a series of articles in "The Southern Presbyterian Journal", his expostion got such an excellent reception that people decided to publish it in book form.
The resultant book gives a very readable but nonetheless quite thorough expostion of the WCF. Filled with illustrations and anecdotes, it serves as an excellent study aid for not only the WCF but Bible truths the confession comments on.
The book, along with G. I. Williamson's commentary on the WCF, should be part of the library of nearly any Bible-believing presbyterian elder.

What presbyterians have historically believed

A commentary on the Westminster Confession perfectly suited for study
31. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
The title of this book appears to be very focused on one corner of the Christian faith. With all due respect, I believe the book is poorly titled. A more appropriate title might be, "What is in the Westminster Confession of Faith".
Gordon H. Clark, philosopher and theologian, provides a commentary on the Westminster Confession perfectly suited for individual study or group discussion. The author reprints the Westminster Confession, section for section, and provides a running commentary. Clark's analysis of the Confession is periodically witty, regularly insightful and written in a way that will satisfy the theologian and the novice.
The author's topic, the Westminster Confession, was completed in 1646. It is a doctrine of faith drawn up to clarify the beliefs of biblical Christian religion. Versions of it have been adopted by not only Calvinistic Presbyterians but also Congregationalists and Baptists.
This book draws from various perspectives to help the reader rap their brain around the most basic as well as the deepest issues of Christian religion. You will explore some of the political, historical and sociological implications of basic Christian tenants. Clark's deeply analytical approach even provides several points where the authors may have erred.
Clark was ordained a Minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and was chairman of the Philosophy Department at Butler University for 28 years. He was a member of four different Presbyterian denominations in his lifetime. Clark, a prolific author of more than 40 books, writes with an quirky, yet refreshing style that meshes his theological and philosophical perspectives.

A little too much on the brief side - more a birdseye view of the subject.
