Westminster Larger Catechism (123) and the Shorter Catechism (63)

The statements about the Law in The Westminster Larger Catechism probably transcend anything written--explicitly--during the Reformation. It is far more serious and developed than the paltry Thirty-nine Articles. Luther's and the Heidelberg Catechism remain as solid pieces of work, yet neither, in this scribbler's view, compares to the WLC. Posted lest we forget.
