Harmony of the Westminster Confession and Catechisms
By: Morton H. Smith
The Pastor’s Monthly Book Selection – November, 2015
While ordering a number of books sometime ago I was mistakenly sent a copy of Morton Smith’s Harmony of the Westminster Confession and Catechisms. The bookstore’s error turned out to be my gain. Once I began perusing the work I eagerly paid the extra cost and kept it for myself.
For those that have never read the Westminster Standards or who have only read a section of the three pieces that make up that work, Morton Smith’s volume is extremely helpful. By providing parallel columns for the Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism, he allows the reader to compare the specific doctrines taught in these historic documents. Helpful Scripture references are also provided so that the reader is able to see the biblical basis for the theology, ethics, and practices of the Reformed Faith.
I highly recommend Dr. Smith’s work as an easy to use guide for theological study or reference.
