The Free Presbyterian edition of the Westminster Confession and other relevant documents is a wonderful addition to any library. Its font is easy to read, and it is a pleasure to read through the documents of the Westminster Assembly.

One is struck by the extensive use of Biblical citations in the confession itself as well as in the catechisms. Although at times the exegesis is strained, the detail of the references sends one constantly back to the foundation of our faith, God's precious show more Word.

One may quibble with points of doctrine in the confession, and one may wish for a more irenic spirit (especially with the fear of "Romanism" and "Common Prayer"). But these documents were the foundation of the Presbyterian churches in Scotland and North America. It is impossible to say any better than the answer to catechism question Number 1, "Man's chief end to glorify God, and fully to ENJOY Him forever."

This is hands-down the best resource on the Westminster Standards that one could own. All of the Scripture texts are printed out in smaller print at the bottom of the page which is great for study and for preaching and teaching. The binding is clothbound and smith-sewn. If your ministry requires frequent reference to the Westminster Standards for preaching or teaching, then this is a necessary volume to own.
Towering statements of Reformed doctrine and ethics. They helped me gain a coherent understanding of God's revelation in the Scriptures.
