I Have a Confession: The What and Why of the Westminster Confession of Faith

by Nathan Eshelman

In your town, there are probably many churches saying they follow the Bible, yet they worship very differently and take different positions on big issues. How can we find a church that promotes right thinking about the Bible, encourages unity with truth, protects us from error, and helps us proclaim the good news? That is the heart of confessional churches and being a confessional Christian. This book is an introduction to confessions and what they’re supposed to do (and not do), focusing on the Westminster Confession of Faith.

A good introduction to the what and why of confessions, plus a brief overview of Westminster. Eshelman is a good writer.

[Jacob · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a must read for every Christian, no matter what theological tradition she calls home. In times like the one we now find ourselves, where everyone has their own credo and does what is right in their own eyes, Pastor Eshelman demonstrates the importance of confessions and creeds and how they help us to have an enduring faith; one which served well our forefathers and will also serve well our children.
