Westminster Larger Catechism Manuscript Transcriptions | Westminster Letter Press

I received my Regular edition today. It's gorgeous and I can't even imagine how nice the other variants are. This will be a treasured resource. Some of you are aware that Chris Coldwell has long been researching a critical text for this work. The man is a workhorse and, by all rights, could probably earn a Doctorate for the primary research he has done in this area.

I highly recommend you jump on this before he runs out of copies of this print. Chris has long sold some fantastic works at Naphtali Press. He has recently opened another branch in Westminster Letterpress focusing on fine letterpress reprints. I have a copy of the Solemn League and Covenant that is of beautiful quality that I intend to frame and hang in a place of prominence in my home.

Can you describe the intro by Van Dixhoorn? Is it basically a rehash of his previous stuff on the Larger Catechism?

I'll leave that to Chris. I just received my copy when I got home today.

Danny,
I asked Chad specifically to write about the rediscovery of the MS (the title of his foreword) which he had not done before; and provides some history and dates behind my work and that of John Bower who did a critical text for his dissertation. It's a foreword; not a major research piece.

Rich:

The PCA Historical Center was honored to be chosen to house a preservation copy of the author's edition. Rich, it's even more beautiful!! Film at eleven.

Seriously, I wish I had more time just now to describe it, but I've seen few books so immaculately crafted. I'm actually almost fearful to think about trying to read it.
But I'm more impressed with the scholarship that has gone into this. I think it was upon examining the first issue of The Confessional Presbyterian, that it hit me--it's truly the conservatives who are doing the real scholarship these days in the fields of biblical and confessional studies.

I was very happy to give Wayne my author's copy (A-1 of 10). It has a good home; one worthy of support. The generations to come will be very thankful for the historical achieve that Wayne Sparkman is helping to put together at the PCAHC.

Much more of this and we'll need a sheepish smilie, one that bashfully moves his foot back and forth on the ground in a kind of "aw shucks" way.


But thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Like yourself, it is a labor of love that we're engaged in, in these works. Praise God, what a wonder to behold, to be given such riches!

Yep; where's that pat self or get friend to pat self on back smilie. Still; thanks Wayne for what you do.

Rich, you sold me! I just ordered mine.
