It has become one of the most recognizable and influential confessions of the Reformed tradition. In his historical introduction, John Bower provides an extensive survey of the Confession's creation, a formative process spanning the Assembly's most active years of 1643-1648. The heart of the volume is Bower's critical text of the Confession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainstakingly restored, the critical text is supported by a parallel comparison of the document's four authoritative sources and a detailed list of textual emendations. Moreover, the book's historical and textual sections are accompanied by a glossary, bibliography, catalog of proof texts, and a critical edition of the Assembly's often overlooked revision of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. Bower's text is sure to be the benchmark for future study, modern editions, and foreign translations for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Making of the Confession of Faith\u003cbr\u003e1.
