__________________ Conscience may lash us, but it cannot replenish a languishing life. Conscience may be God's word and minister to you, telling you of your faults and your follies and your destitution. It may point out, but it will never supply you. Christ must give you new life.

Has anyone read John Hall's exposition of the first and second questions/answers of the WSC? If so, thoughts?
They are available at Solid Ground Christian Books. The Chief End of Man: An Exposition of the First Answer of the Shorter Catechism by John Hall with Introduction by B.B. Warfield The Scriptures: The Only Rule of Faith - An Exposition of the Second Answer of the Shorter Catechism by John Hall Quote: |
John Hall (1806-1894) was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Trenton, New Jersey for over 40 years, served as Professor of Pastoral Theology at Princeton Seminary, and later as Director of the Seminary. His close friendship with J.W. Alexander led to the publication of "Forty Years Familiar Letters of James W. Alexander" which appeared in 1860. He was a gifted writer of many volumes, several, like this oned, in collaboration with others.

Yesterday, I downloaded the new contribution by Doxa . . . Quote:
A Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith: Commentary
NEW from Doxa Digital Press!
Where Theology Meets Technology
Authors: J. Gerstner, D. Kelly, P. Rollinson
Pages: 202
Price: $8
Media: Download
A Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith: Commentary
Examines the WCF Paragraph by Paragraph
Authored by Reformed Theologians, Dr. John Gerstner, Dr. Douglas Kelly, Dr. Philip Rollinson
Extensive Topic Index with Hyperlinks
Page Numbers Included
WCF Included, Complete with Hyperlinks from Each Paragraph to Gerstner's Commentary
Synoptic Outline of Each Chapter
Very High Quality
Check Out Our Screen Shots
| This represents a great addition that integrates fully with the $10 collection they already publish with . . . Quote:
Westminster Confession of Faith
Westminster Shorter Catechism
Westminster Larger Catechism
WCF with Parallel Confessions (WCF|1689|Savoy)
A Commentary on the WCF by A. A. Hodge
Notes on the WCF by J. Macpherson
An Exposition of the WCF by R. Shaw
The Presbyterian Standards by F. Beattie
| And, for us 1689ers, Doxa also has Samuel E. Waldron's A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, a rewrite of the 1689 in modern language, a parallel column 1689, Savoy, and WCF, A Discussion of the Seventeenth Century Particular Baptist Confessions of Faith by Richard P. Belcher and Anthony Mattia. They also publish a good deal of material on the various Lutheran and Reformed confessions, all in electronic format in the very user friendly (and free) Word Search platform! And, unlike some of the other Bible software companies, Doxa AND Wordsearch offer many of their best offerings for free or at a very substantial discount.*
*In the interests of full disclosure, I have found some of the more recent copyright works to be more costly from Word Search than Logos. However, in the area of Reformed (and Calvinistic Baptist) materials, they seem to have an edge on price (e.g., Founders Journal for free).

Not sure if I saw it in the list, but would David Dickson's "Truth's Victory Over Error" count?

There was an earlier thread listing confessional commentaries which included Dickson's on the list. (It's one of my favorites, btw.)
