This compact edition of the Westminster Confession of Faith is ideal for individual or group study. The Introduction by Sinclair B. Ferguson places the Confession in its own time and place, yet shows that far from being a mere historical document, it remains a deeply helpful and mind-shaping guide to the unchanging teachings of the Christian faith. '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 forever.' -- Sinclair B. Ferguson
