Synopsis

In 1643 when the Long Parliament of England called the Westminster Assembly to produce the Westminster Confession, it also asked for a directory of "catechising". The Assembly asked Herbert Palmer to produce a draft of the Larger Catechism. Robert Baillie and other Scottish delegates found the work disappointing. In December 1643 a committee was formed to write the Catechism. In January 1647 the Assembly gave up writing one catechism and split it into two. The Westminster Shorter Catechism was to be "easier to read and concise for beginners" and the Larger Catechism was to be "more exact and comprehensive". The Catechism was completed by the Westminster Assembly in 1647. It was then adopted by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1648 and by the Presbyterian Synod of New York and Philadelphia in 1788.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The Westminster Assembly was a gathering of theologians, ministers, and scholars convened in London in 1643 during the English Civil War. The assembly was tasked by Parliament with reforming the doctrine, worship, and government of the Church of England according to Reformed theological principles.Over several years the assembly produced several influential doctrinal works, including the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Larger Catechism, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. These texts became central standards of belief and instruction within Presbyterian and Reformed churches and continue to be studied throughout the world.
