The Westminster Confession of Faith For Study Classes
“The Westminster Confession of Faith is an unsurpassed summary of biblical truth and should be familiar ground to people of Reformed and Presbyterian conviction. For decades, G. I. Williamson's guide to the Confession has been an invaluable resource used in churches and colleges throughout the world.”
The Shorter Catechism is intended to briefly teach the doctrine contained in the Confession. Studying the Confession itself can be a helpful tool in understanding the Catechism.

The Westminster Larger Catechism
“The Larger Catechism, so rich in biblical teaching, has been long neglected, even by conservative presbyterians who embrace it as one of their three standards. This commentary, written in the mid-twentieth century, is being published in book-form for the first time, to encourage the catechism’s increased use and study.”
Because the Larger Catechism supplements the Shorter Catechism on such topics as the church and the means of grace, presbyterians will find it a rewarding resource.
