I am looking for opinions for the best LBCF versions,(Which one's does your Church use with comparisons and any other thoughts on this?)
I have the Carey Publications edition (The 1689 :A Faith to Confess)
and The Wakeman Trust edition with Peter Masters editor
I also have Sam Waldron's commentary on it which is great
Thank you for your thoughts

The best edition in print surely is Rev. Waldron's commentary, but the Carey Publications and Wakeman Trust editions are great for carrying around and handing out due to their small size and affordability. (Were I to order in bulk for a congregation, I would probably go with the Carey edition. The 'modern English' rewrite by S.M. Houghton is nice-to-read and very trustworthy, and I have noticed that many Reformed Baptist congregations and ministries have taken to it, including Founders Ministries and Dr. James White's church.)

I have Waldron's commentary but carry Peter Master's edition with me.
I like his explanation of word/phrases (in parentheses) that some might not be familiar with.

The one I have is a facsimile edition of the 1677 that Mike Renihan published through Baptist and Reformed Press. I don't even know if you can get it any longer. It was the first one actually read all the way through in one sitting.

Chapel library is inexpensive in print and free on line (as is the PB version). When distributing a bunch, cost is a consideration.

No posts for you!
We proposed to our church membership on 7/19 to adopt the original 1689 LBC. We are voting on adopting the confession as our doctrinal statement on 8/23. I am currently teaching a series on the 1689 LBC during Sunday school. I am using the original.
