Synopsis

"The Larger Catechism stands as one of the three major doctrinal standards produced by the Westminster Assembly. Often overshadowed by the Shorter Catechism and the Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism exhibits the Assemblys most mature theological reflection and insight. In this remarkable volume, John Bower provides extensive historical background for the making of this colossal catechism. He traces the history of the Assemblys efforts from the initial call for a catechism, through deliberations on its form and content, and down to the intricate process of monitoring its printing.
