Authentic Christianity
An Exposition of the Theology and Ethics of the Westminster Larger Catechism
These nearly four thousand pages of pastoral writing by Dr. Joseph Morecraft on the Westminster Larger Catechism draw from nearly two thousand years of church writers and theologians to produce the most practical, down-to-earth commentary ever written.
Ways This Set Will Benefit You
- Read commentary on almost every Scripture text used in the footnotes of the Westminster Larger Catechism.
- Quickly reference material from historical authors throughout the early church, the Protestant Reformation, the Puritans, along with Reformed Presbyterian and Baptist scholars and writers from recent years.
- Access practical application of Biblical principles to various areas of life, including ethics, law, politics, family, church, state, piety, education, and more.
- Be encouraged in your walk with the Lord by the devotional and pastoral style, being the result of over four hundred sermons delivered by the author.
- Draw from these pages for personal and family devotions.
- Extensive direction for further reading and research in the numerous footnotes and Bibliography.
It is rare to find an in-dept commentary of the Reformed catechisms which is accessible for all levels of readers… This series of expositions may seem daunting to read, due to their size and number of pages, yet they are not in any way dry or impractical… One is brought low before the Triune God in worship and repentence again and again as the Word of God is applied to the heart… One may not agree with every point or expression in the writings of man – even the Larger Catechism is subject to the test of Holy Scripture – yet we find much light and truth here to strengthen faith and build the Christian on that solid rock, Jesus Christ. I heartily recommend this set of expositions.
Every Christian who is serious about the Reformed Faith and the Westminster Standards should have and use this set. It is much more than an exposition of the Larger Catechism; it is a thoroughly researched work that utilizes biblical exegesis as well as historial and systematic theology.
