The Confessional Presbyterian 2 (2006)

CPJ-2-mastheadThe second issue of The Confessional Presbyterian began a growing trend toward fatter issues. It is 256 pages (approx. 276, 112 words). The most significant material here if I may express an opinion is the first part of the series on sixty years of literature on the subject of the Regulative Principle of Worship. Also with issue 2 we began a trend of running, in what I think is the most overlooked feature of the journal, first time translations of interesting if not important texts on a variety of subjects. This issue ran a translation from a work by the student of Samuel Rutherford, John Brown of Wamphray, Libri duo: in priori, Wolzogium, in libellis duobus de interprete Scripturarum, causam orthodoxam prodidisse demonstratur. In posteriori, Lamberti Velthusii sententia libertino-Erastiana, in libello vernaculo de idololatria & superstitione naper proposita, detegitur & confutatur (Amstelodami, 1670), on the subject of the universal visible church. This issue remains in print.
