In The Larger Catechism: A Critical Text and Introduction, John Bower provides extensive historical background for the making of this landmark Reformed catechism. He traces the history of the Assembly’s efforts from the initial call for a catechism, through deliberations on its form and content, and down to the intricate process of monitoring its printing.
The centerpiece of this volume is Bower’s critical text of the catechism. Painstakingly researched and indexed, the critical text is supported by a four-column comparison of the authoritative manuscripts and printings. Graced with a glossary and a catalog of corrected proof-texts, Bower’s text is a benchmark for future study, modern editions, and foreign translations.
