The Westminster Larger Catechism

Set against the backdrop of 1643 England, the book details the formation of the Westminster Confession and the challenges faced in creating a comprehensive catechism. Herbert Palmer's initial draft of the Larger Catechism was met with disappointment by Scottish delegates, leading to the establishment of a committee in December 1643. Ultimately, the Assembly decided to divide the catechism into two parts by January 1647, reflecting the complexities and differing perspectives within the Assembly.
