The Westminster Assembly

Reading Its Theology in Historical Context.
Drawing on new primary source material, it 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.
Letham has put us all in his debt by giving us a solid and thorough " introduction to the Westminster Assembly that brings its debates to life and
shows why the confession and catechisms it produced have become the touchstone
of Reformed theology in the English-speaking world.' - Gerald Bray
Typical of Bob Letham's writings, The Westminster Assembly is " comprehensive in its grasp [...]. The book will appeal to theological
professors as an ideal seminary text, to ministers as a handy guide for
preaching and teaching, and to lay people as a tool to become historically and
theologically informed.' - Joel R. Beeke
