Rating:  - Clear, Concise and Biblical
Williamson's study guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith is, or should be, a standard reference in every serious Biblical student's library. Whether you accept the presuppositions of the Reformed Faith or not, you will profit from this study because it gives a clear and concise explanation of the doctrines which are summarized in the Confession.
On the primary issues, God's sovereignty & man's free will, Williamson ranks right high on the list of accessible explanations. ... Read More
Rating: - very useful introduction to Reformed theology
I have used this book in Bible studies several times over the years and it is a very good basic introduction to theology from a Reformed perspective. The only weakness is that the questions at the ends of the chapters are not very good for discussion; they have mostly obvious answers based directly on the reading. But Williamson's book is full of insights and analogies which make for good discussion.
Rating: - Reformation History - Calvinism
The teachings here are mostly beliefs of historical Presbyterian churches and Calvinists. I believe there has been modification in beliefs among certain of the Presbyterian Churches and other Calvinistic religions, softening selected teachings in this book.

Rating: - Excellent!
This is an excellent study guide to one of the best documents ever written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is Presbyterian if they want to know better what their denomination believes. I would also highly recommend it to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of theology, since the confession touches on some very deep truths. My girlfriend and I each have a copy and are going through it together. We are enjoying trememdously!
