The Confessional Presbyterian 8 (2012)

CPJ-8-mastheadThis issue is 296 pp (approx. 267,503 words). OUT OF PRINT. The eighth issue of The Confessional Presbyterian journal is noteworthy for introducing a new feature, Sic et Non. Views in Review. The subject was Westminster Seminary California Distinctives? which spread over two subsequent issues. Nick Batzig and Jeff Waddington joined Jim Cassidy and Nick Willborn as editors of the articles section. I am biased but I again find the translation piece to be a standout, a first time translation of one of Calvin’s tracts that has heretofore not appeared in English. Response to a Certain Tricky Middler is noteworthy for the principle Calvin articulates regarding things idolatrously abused which George Gillespie would pick up on and turn to a fully realized rule in his Dispute against the English Popish Ceremonies. Out of Print.
