First of welcome to the Puritanboard!

Our bible study just finished a 2.5 year study on the confession. We used the following guides:

1. What do Presbyterians Believe? Gordon H. Clark
You can also get a study guide by Gary Crampton. Both are available from www.trinityfoundation.org

2. The Westminster Confession of Faith for Study Classes. G.I WIlliamson
This is a fairly standard commentary.

3. Commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith. A.A. Hodge
You can read this free online HERE

And one we did not use, but I have browsed from time to time is the exposition of the WCF by Robert Shaw. This is also available online HERE

If you decide to go through the catechisms (which I HIGHLY recommend), there are many resources and commentaries (alot of them free online) for those too.

Shaw and Hodge are the two best (in my opinion) with Williamson a close third.

I would also highly recommend Vincent's commentary on the WSC and Watson's Body of Divinity (basically keyed to the WLC)

Perfect, thank you. I've seen Shaw's work in print and will pick it up soon.
