Drawing on new primary source material, this volume considers the Assembly’s theology in terms of the unfolding development of doctrine in the Reformed churches—in connection with the preceding and current events in English history—and locates it in relation to the catholic tradition of the western church. The book asks exactly what the divines meant at each stage of their task. At a time when claims are made that particular theologies represent historic Reformed doctrine, it is particularly important to grasp what this actually is.
This collection is essential for students, scholars, pastors, historians, and anyone else studying church history. With Logos Bible Software, The Westminster Assembly is completely searchable—Scripture passages appear on mouseover and link to your preferred English translation and to the original-language texts. With Logos’ advanced features, you can perform comprehensive searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “sabbath,” or the “ordo-salutis.”
