Westminster Assembly
The Westminster Assembly was a group of English theologians and ministers convened in 1643 during the English Civil War, aiming to reform the Church of England and create a new set of doctrinal standards. Comprised of notable figures such as John Owen and Thomas Goodwin, the Assembly worked diligently over several years, culminating in the creation of the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Their contributions have had a lasting impact on Reformed theology and continue to influence various Christian denominations today.
Though it may seem unusual to think of the Assembly as an "author," their collective work embodies the spirit of collaboration and deep theological inquiry.
