What are some good resources for teaching through the Larger Catechism? I am interested in getting a group of young guys together to instruct them in a more advanced way in the faith. Are there any available outlines or suggestions?

Thomas Ridgeley, JG Vos, both helpful resources. The LC is a great study, much neglected for its length, but well worth the effort. May the Lord bless your studies.

Our best marks can contribute nothing to our justification, ...that is proper to faith. Faith cannot lodge in the soul alone, and without other graces; yet faith alone justifies before God.--G. Gillespie

JG Vos' work is good.

Can't add to commentaries, but to be sure you have the right WLC text, at least for the first 50 questions, be sure to pick up a copy of the forthcoming 2007 issue of The Confessional Presbyterian, which has "A Critical Text of the Westminster Larger Catechism: Q. 1–50."

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

Ridgeley and Vos are the primary commentators on the Larger Catechism. You may also benefit from the resources found at the Westminster Shorter Catechism Project.
