Thomas Watson: "A Body of Divinity" (#13): Westminster Shorter Catechism...

WSC 1 was finished. In WSC 2, Prof. Watson now demonstrates 7 reasons for the integrity and authority of Scriptures as the only rule to direct us how we may glorify God and enjoy Him.

Exquisite, clear, and direct. Prof. Watson virtually unites systematic theology and practical theology without a wall of partition. As for the OT and NT, he has an expansive view of those disciplines. But, he's a tad short on church history. Nevertheless, if one has a few rotten planks on the deck of the house, one doesn't tear down the deck, much less the house. We'd like a bit more church history, but we are fed by his other four activist disciplines that are operational, unifying and high-speed. Sheer quality!

And the rigorist bishops tossed this man from his pulpit at St. Stephen's in London? Yep.
