First penned in 1646, the Westminster Confession of Faith was the constitution of the Scottish Presbyterian Church, and according to Hodge, it was adopted by the American Presbyterian Church in 1729. Hodge considered the study and comprehension of the Westminster Standards by all Presbyterians of the utmost importance.
A.A. Hodge's book “A Commentary on the Confession of Faith” was first published in 1869. In the Preface, Hodge declares that the intent behind this work it “to bring out into full relief the natural, obvious and generally-admitted sense of the text. Its design is simply to stimulate and facilitate the study of this eminent embodiment of Christian truth, among Bible-class scholars, theological students, ruling elders and ministers.”
Given that its intended audience is a 19th-century layman, Hodge's “Commentary” comes highly recommended to anyone beginning their study of the the Westminster Confession of Faith. To discover more about the Westminster Standards, see his work published posthumously in 1888, which his cousin J.A. Hodge finished, titled “The System of Theology Contained in the Westminster Shorter Catechism Opened and Explained.”
