Confessions of the Reformed Church

De: christianaudio.com

Narrado por: David Cochran Heath

Quite simply, three of the most important and well-known confessions of the Reformed faith. The Augsburg Confession is the earliest of the three and is the primary confession of the Lutheran Church. The Heidelberg Catechism was a response written by Zacharias Ursinus and consists of 129 questions and answers. The Westminster Confession is the best known and begins with "What is the chief end of man? Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever."©2007 christianaudio.com (P)2007 christianaudio.com

Good content, very bad audiobook

This audio book is as if someone made 3 actual quality audio book recordings, combined all the recordings, and then spliced them into 3 arbitrary "chapters". The 3 chapters don't even each correspond to one particular document, they are just cut minutes off of the endings of the documents. The preference would be for clear divisions between the documents, and further delineations between the actual chapters or sections of each respective document. E.g. I would like to jump to chapter 32 of the Westminster Confession, but there are no markers.

Furthermore, the Westminster Confession herein is not the original from the 1646 Westminster Assembly, but it is some later revision, and I don't care to take the time to figure out which exactly. I only know that after chapter 33, which is the end of the original, this audio book continued on with chapters 34 and 35, which are from much later revisions. This would be excusable if it were labelled as such, but even if I ignore these chapters I can't know how much of the rest of the confession is modified since it doesn't specify which revision is recorded.

All that being said, the recording quality and vocal timbre is much better than the free one that I have found online.
