Product description

About the Author

David Dickson (1583-1663) was the son of a wealthy merchant in Glasgow. His early aspirations to enter the family business were diverted through an illness and a subsequently lengthy period of convalescence. The result was that he entered the University of Glasgow (then under Principal Robert Boyd) and prepared for the Christian ministry. Dickson is the author of Truth s Victory Over Error: A Commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith and a commentary on the Psalms in the Geneva series, both published by the Trust.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sadly the contents of this book is not popular today ...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2016

    Sadly the contents of this book is not popular today as a form of belief. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that the scene where Mr Dickson ministered in the mid 1600's seems to be less interested in Christianity of the Reformed variety.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Obra maravilhosa! A versão kindle deixa um pouco a desejar...
    Reviewed in Brazil on 5 June 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Deixa um pouco a desejar, mas apenas pela formatação do texto mesmo, pela relativa dificuldade de navegação no índice. Mas o conteúdo do livro não deixa a desejar: para quem não sabe, David Dickson era um teólogo escocês, contemporâneo (mas não participante como Divine) da assembleia de Westminster. Esse livro é o primeiro comentário à Confissão de Fé de Westminster, feito praticamente "em tempo real", logo após a conclusão dos trabalhos da assembleia! Além disso, juntamente com James Durham, o autor escreveu "The Sum of Saving Knowledge", que passou a ser impresso juntamente com a Confissão e os Catecismos de Westminster na Escócia, de modo que passou a ser conhecido como o quarto padrão não oficial de Wesminster.

    Ou seja, o presente comentário é de um fino teólogo escocês, ao mesmo tempo contemporâneo e concordante com a teologia da assembleia de Westminster. Embora o formato do comentário possa parecer estranho a nossos padrões modernos (ele parte do muito da sistemática de "rejeição de erros", indo da negativa para a positiva), é indispensável para quem quer aprofundar seus conhecimentos sobre a CFW.

    Recomendo com entusiasmo!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The first commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 October 2011
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    The Scottish minister, Daid Dickson (1583-1663), who was a contemporary of Westminster divines, delivered to the divinity students of Edinburgh University in the early 1650s. The present book is the result of it. The following is from the book:

    This book is not merely of historical interest; it is also of considerable value now because many of the errors refuted within its pages have surfaced again in the 21st century church under new guises. Christians today can learn a great deal from the faithful witness of former generations who experienced `truth's victory over error'.

    David Dickson is dealing with the biblical truth in a simple and clear way, refuting errors of his day. All his arguments are based upon Scripture. By using a format of question and answer, he is leading his reader from ignorance to biblical thinking.

    Although each chapter follows the order of the Confession, this book does not expound directly from the words of the Confession just as other commentaries do. It shows the author's robust understanding of the Confession.

    Without doubt, this is one of MUST-HAVE commentaries on Westminster Confession of Faith.

    This book is great. One of the best commentaries on the Confession Produced. If I mastered this I'd be nearly error proof.

    God have Brother Dickson Wisdom and understanding when he was writing this book.
