This is the third volume in a series of essays devoted to Reformed theology from Calvin to the present day, with special reference to the Westminster Assembly (1643-52).
The Assembly, in its Confession and Catechisms, produced the most extensive and developed Reformed confessional statements; it is also of major significance for a crucial point in English social and political history. Some contributors refer directly to the Assembly, some comment tangentially, while others write of something quite different. As with any anthology, the quality is uneven. However, these volumes are sufficiently large to contain much of value.
