Not Worth Buying
Weak in Explaining Presbyterian Doctrine The author has a weak understanding of reformed theology.What he feels to be the essential tenets of the reformed faith are ten tenets listed in the Book of Order (not the Book of Confessions) which he belives summarize the reformed faith.A much better understanding is required of church officers.Church officers must be sound in the faith, and this book lacks the guidance to help church officers.It does not properly give an understanding of reformed faith, and it does not serve as an effective tool to understanding reformed faith and doctrine. The whole argument of essential tenets has been especially fierce in the last 100 years (more so in the early 1900's).The author of this book comes down on one side of the essential tenet argument.He is biased, and he is biased against subscription.He does not say that he is biased, and therefore will not explain or defend his position.Indeed, the whole issue of subscription is avoided.Thus, an accurate history on the subject of subscription to the Confession is not offered in this book.Presbyterian ministers and elders historically subscribed to the Confession of Faith as their own confession - to be what they believe scripture teaches.This they continued until the 1900's.Also, the use of the word "tenets" is a rather new invention.Our Presbyterian fathers used the word "articles", as the Confession was made up of articles (Each chapter of the confession consists of several articles).The word "tenets", which is now used, does not refer to the articles, but to a set of beliefs.So we now have the "essential tenets" of the reformed faith and confessions.This was not the talk of Presbyterians before. The author of this book quotes a part of a sentence from the Adopting Act of 1729.He subverts the meaning of the Adopting Act by drawing a wrong conclusion about it based on this one part of a sentence from it.His conclusion is what he wants you to accept without going into an analysis of the Act itself or explaining that there are those that disagree with him.For if it is explained that there is disagreement, then an explanation would be required to establish why he believes as he does.This however takes time and work.So it is avoided.Many clergy in the PCUSA take his side on this point.But you are not getting the whole story from this book.You need more knowledge to understand the issue.Thus the meaning of the ministers that wrote the Adopting Act is not explained, and you will not understand it unless you exert yourself to learn more.This book will not help you.And thus, the whole argument of what is required of those who aspire to be church officers is misreprented by many, including this author.This issue of essential articles was actually decided by the 1729 Synod.And of course, they did not use the word - "tenets". The author of this book gives his biased argument for his position.However, he does not present the other position.He doesn't even acknowledge that there are those that disagree with him.There are whole denominations that disagree with him on these points, including the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church in America.Seminaries disagree with him, including Reformed Theological Seminary and Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (viz. disagreement about the issue of subscribing to the confessions and what is essential in reformed faith).There are resources available that present the arguments that are lacking in this book.These other resources can give you a better understanding of Presbyterianism and help you to understand the reformed faith and therefore understand more about our faith in God and what it means to be Christ's disciple. Again, this book is useful as tool to understand the author's side on the issues he presents.He does not work to establish his position as he does not acknowledge any other position.This book helps you to know how many of the clergy look at the confessions of the church and how arrogant they are about telling you how you should believe.

Editorial Review Product Description This Presby 101 handbook uses an advice format to describe Presbyterians by ostensibly addressing new members of the church. But it is a funny primer and survival manual for ALL members of the denomination! How to Survive Being a Presbyterian gently skewers the history, worship habits, and the endless committee meetings. And it covers clothing, potluck dinners, and yes, sex—as well as raising kids—all from the Presbyterian viewpoint. It's the self-help book with a difference. You'll want to regale your friends with the little quips of the 300-year-oldPercy T. Presby, who declares: "Presbyterianism is a series of meetings occasionally interrupted by a worship service." "The national drink of Presbyterian women is decaf coffee." "Some Presbyterians believe that a jazz band is the Boston Pops." Customer Reviews (8)
There's a reason why it was self-published
The Joys of Being Presbyterian
GREAT PRESBYTERIAN HUMOR! I discovered it from an article in the Tampa paper that talked about its "insightful witticisms." It has that. This is not a serious tome but rather a good and humorous look at everything Presbyterian. I have given it to my pastor and some church friends. It makes a good gift. I recommend it to all Presbyterians who want a good laugh. Kay Gordon, Orlando

an examination
What presbyterians have historically believed But whatdid several hundred year's of presbyterians believe? How come somepresbyterian churches even today claim that heritage? What leads thesepeople to insist that the WCF remains one of the clearest statements of theBible's teaching? What do these presbyterians and presbyterians of historybelieve? Of what value is a confession of faith, anyway? Dr GordonClark, a theologically-trained and aware eyewitness to most of the changesof presbyterianism in the 20th century, answers those questions. Originallyappearing as a series of articles in "The Southern PresbyterianJournal", his expostion got such an excellent reception that peopledecided to publish it in book form. The resultant book gives a veryreadable but nonetheless quite thorough expostion of the WCF. Filled withillustrations and anecdotes, it serves as an excellent study aid for notonly the WCF but Bible truths the confession comments on. The book,along with G. I. Williamson's commentary on the WCF, should be part of thelibrary of nearly any Bible-believing presbyterian elder. ... Read more |
