Description
From the beginning, the Westminster Confession's position on assurance has been a subject of controversy. In this exciting new work, Jonathan Master considers the Westminster Confession's statements on assurance as a position of consensus among a diversity of viewpoints.By tracing how the idea was expanded and modified--even by the document's own authors!--in very distinct ways, the work highlights the importance of the understandings flowing out of Westminster and raises important questions about confession and doctrinal freedom in the growing Reformed tradition.
