"This volume is a celebration of Reformed systematic theology," writes Anthony Selvaggio, the volume editor. It is the inaugural volume in the series The Westminster Assembly and the Reformed Faith, which examines the history, theology, and legacy of the Westminster Assembly.

"In this book the reader will be exposed to the theological topics at the core of Westminster's theology," Selvaggio explains, "topics such as justification, adoption, the kingship of Christ, the doctrine of Scripture, the Lord's Day, covenant theology, the atonement, and Christian liberty."

He adds, "This volume is also a celebration of the teaching career of Dr. Wayne R. Spear, who taught systematic theology at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for over thirty years. . . . It is fitting to honor him with a collection of essays that touch on some of the great themes and theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith."

P&R Publishing, in cooperation with Westminster Seminary's Craig Center for the Study of the Westminster Standards, is pleased to offer this title and series on subjects vital to its cause. Contributors here include Richard Gaffin, Carl Trueman, Joel Beeke, R. Scott Clark, David McKay, C. J. Williams, Rowland Ward, Anthony Selvaggio, Richard Gamble, D. G. Hart, and Jerry O'Neill.
