This volume is the original 1647 version of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and its subordinate documents which comprise the Solemn League and Covenant, the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, the Form of Presbyterial Church Government, and the directories for Public and Private Worship. Also is included is the Sum of Saving Knowledge as well as a topical index to all the documents. The Confession and Larger and shorter Catechism are proved by Scripture using the Authorized Version (the King James) as published in 1647 by the Assembly. Some years later, in 1652, the Larger and Shorter Catechism were also published as proved by the KJV version of Scripture.

The 1647 Westminster Confession of Faith is the most precise and theologically rich confession produced by the Christian Church. Though the Christian Church takes the whole Word of God alone as her only rule of faith, she must also frame and promote a statement of what she understands the Word of God to teach. Thus, the church of Jesus Christ, in contending for the faith once delivered to the saints, should rely on the BEST confession available. This is it!
