Professor Dowey says, “Creeds and confessions generally need commentary. They are by nature highly compressed and carefully shaded in meaning. They are usually the work of more than one person and are intended for various levels of use. They arise out of diverse backgrounds and are carried into new situations unforeseen by their authors, acquiring interpretations and sometimes revisions along the way. This book is aimed to help the average interested person understand the writings contained in the Book of Confessions of the United Presbyterian Church.”
