It has become one of the most recognizable and influential confessions of the Reformed tradition. In his historical introduction, John Bower provides an extensive survey of the Confessions creation, a formative process spanning the Assemblys most active years of 1643andndash;1648. The heart of the volume is Bowers critical text of the Confession.Painstakingly restored, the critical text is supported by a parallel comparison of the documents four authoritative sources and a detailed list of textual emendations. Moreover, the books historical and textual sections are accompanied by a glossary, bibliography, catalog of proof texts, and a critical edition of the Assemblys often overlooked revision of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. Bowers text is sure to be the benchmark for future study, modern editions, and foreign translations for years to come.Table of Contents:Introduction: The Making of the Confession of Faith Revising the Articles Hastening the Confession The Plan of Redemption The Application of Redemption Parameters of Service Serving the Church From Manuscript to Press Bibliographical Details Methods and ConventionsA Critical Edition of the Confession of FaithComparison of the Four Authoritative TextsThe Order of the Confession of Faith Compared with That of the Irish ArticlesThe Revised Thirty-Nine Articles: A Critical TextSeries DescriptionPrincipal Documents of the Westminster Assembly.
