The Making of the Westminster Confession

Benjamin B. Warfield offers a concise, yet thorough account of how the Westminster Confession of Faith was drafted during the turbulent years of the Westminster Assembly (1643–1653). He highlights the theological debates—on Scripture, predestination, atonement, and church government—that shaped the Confession, showing both its historical context and lasting significance. Warfield’s study remains a key resource for understanding the depth, clarity, and enduring influence of this foundational Reformed standard.
