We pray that in the pages of this book Gods people may again hear the gospel message, the good news that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. We are convinced that the most important question that a person can ask is, how can a sinner be in right relationship with a holy and just God? Indeed, we are convinced that this is the central theme of the Bible. Our prayer is that the teaching of Gods Word and the truth of salvation and justification in Christ come alive in new and exciting ways, and that instead of confusion Gods people may be have clarity, confidence, hope and assurance. The apostle Paul said it best: Since we have been justified by faith...we rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

The Westminster Confession is a foundational document for countless churches worldwide. Churches of all sizes claim it as their confession, and hold to it with varying degrees of closeness. Its influence must not be underestimated. However, countless officeholders will have vowed to abide by the Westminster Confession with only the most perfunctory of understanding of its relevance to their situation. Ligon Duncan has assembled an impressive array of contributors from a variety of ecclesiastical backgrounds. The aim is simple - to enable the 21st Century to understand the confession more fully, and so bring about the same kind of rugged, vigorous, intelligent and self-sacrificing Christianity that was the result of its initial publication over 350 years ago. In the first of what will be three volumes, the topics covered include:- Baptists and the Westminster Confession; Finney's attack on the Westminster Confession; The Westminster Confession and the Relationship of Church and State; The Holy Spirit and the Westminster Confession.
