A Creedal Celebration!

Carl Trueman's new book The Creedal Imperative is out. Broadly speaking, the book is a defense of the importance of creeds. It is very popular today to reject creeds or to see them as passe. The number of non-creedal, non-denominational churches in the United States, for example, is exploding. In his new book The Creedal Imperative, Carl Trueman explains "why creeds and confessions are necessary, how they have developed over time, and how they can function in the church of today and tomorrow. He writes primarily for evangelicals who are not particularly confessional in their thinking yet who belong to confessional churches - Baptists, independents, etc. - so that they will see more clearly the usefulness of the church's tradition."

Now, since this is a celebration of sorts, here is what Westminster Books is doing:

• They are selling The Creedal Imperative at 53% off for one week only.
• They are selling the fancy black edition of the Westminster Standards for $10 (even cheaper if you buy 5 or more).
• They are selling the fancy black edition of the Three Forms of Unity for $6! (You have no excuse.)
• Finally, if you aren't letting Presbyterians take communion in your church, you ought to consider getting a confession for yourself, so you should consider grabbing the Baptist Confession and Catechisms for $6 as well.

I forgot to mention: they have free eBook versions of the Westminster Standards as well!
