ABOUT THE BOOK

This is a precise, accurate rendering of the original Westminster Con- fession into modern English. Also included are the changes and addi- tions made to the Confession and its proof texts. The text has been carefully prepared for readability, contemporaneity, and fidelity to the doctrinal content of the original by a team of experts in language, translation, and theology.

ABOUT THE COVER

The cover shows the famous western facade of Westminster Abbey. The towers were added a century after the Westminster Assembly, but the Jerusalem Chamber, where many working sessions took place, is on the right. One flanking monogram combines the Greek letters chi and rho and is a traditional reference to Christ. On the right is a St. Andrew's cross, the cross of Scotland.
