Walter W. Bryden, a leading professor of church history and the
history of philosophy of religion at Knox College extolled the
virtues of the Westminster Confessions at a time when it was
assumed that most Canadian Presbyterians considered the
seventeenth-century statement of Reformed theology as having little
more than historical significance. It is the objection of many
Canadian church leaders to Bryden's support of Westminster
Confession and what could possibly provoke such a strong reaction
among church leaders that provides the key issue raised throughout
this book. The main purpose of this book is to examine both
dimensions of Bryden's theological contribution and their
interdependence. On the one hand, Bryden marshaled the new
Reformation theology of Barth and Brunner to launch a broadside
against Canadian Protestantism in general and the church union
movement in particular. At the same time, his increasing
disillusionment with the idealism of modern Protestant theology and
church life, especially as it was expressed in church union, had
already prepared him to embrace wholeheartedly the witness of the
neo-orthodox theologians.(James Clarke & Co 2011)
