The Westminster Standards
Originally published by the Westminster Assembly of Divines in 1646, the Westminster Standards are a thoughtful and detailed summary of the Biblical and unchanging Christian faith which God caused to flourish again in the 16th and 17th Centuries. These have also been adopted as the doctrinal basis for the James Begg Society.
