Authentic Christianity: An Exposition of the Theology and Ethics of the Westminster Larger Catechism

by Joseph C. Morecraft III

From the Back Cover of 2nd Edition: Authentic Christianity: An Exposition of the Theology and Ethics of the Westminster Larger Catechism was originally written and delivered in more than four hundred sermons, and it is the most practical, down-to-earth, and blood-earnest systematic theology ever published. Dr. Joseph C. Morecraft, III leads us to drink deeply from the streams of church history, marshalling the testimony of the Early Church, the Protestant Reformers, and the Puritans, as well as numerous Reformed Presbyterian and Baptists scholars and writers from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.

While I haven't read the whole thing (I made it to page 684 of volume II, page 1,612 overall) what I have read has been clear and helpful. It has been formative for my understanding of theology, especially the sections "The Covenant of God" and "The Promise and Work of the Holy Spirit" in volume I. While I have decided to not read the whole thing cover to cover, I will certainly continue to use this set as an important reference in future studies.

Helpful but Dr. Morecraft misunderstands the Federal Vision (or, really "visions").
