Considering - Truths We Confess: A Layman's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Fa

[cwjudyjr]

I am considring purchasing theis 3 volume set by RC Sproul: Truths We Confess: A Layman's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Can anyone tell me if they are worth investing in? If so, why? If not, why?

Thanks!

Absolutely, yes.

It does a great job making complicated doctrine understandable and gives historical context that is helpful.

This is an excellent reference- you will use it again and again.

It was a major disappointment to me personally, but my preference runs towards the older commentaries which adhere to the Puritan perspectives on Westminster doctrines. That said, it had some value, and it is worth having for reference purposes. This was discussed at some length in a previous thread:

I have the set. I have enjoyed it and would recommend it with the understanding that it is, as advertised, a layman’s guide. I have used it more as a devotional than as a reference.

What is Sproul applied to be a PB member? Would he be rejected?

Just wondering how low that bar is.

Is Chris straight laced? From the avatar he looks like a male model posing for cold weather wear. Chris, is that really you?
