Start with the Holy Bible.

Next memorize the Westminster Shorter Catechism.
https://www.opc.org/sc.html

Be sure to read an exposition of the Shorter Catechism:
>The Westminster Shorter Catechism: For Study Classes by G.I. Wiliamson
>The Shorter Catechism Explained from Scripture by Thomas Vincent
>Fisher's Catechism
>A Complete Body of Divinity by Thomas Boston
>A Body of Practical Divinity by Thomas Watson

You'll also want to acquire a metrical Psalter for singing for Psalms:
>1650 Scottish metrical Psalter.
>Trinity Psalter Hymnal
>The Book of Psalms for Singing
>The Book of Psalms for Worship

If you still have questions just ask your elders. That is what they are there for.

Anybody else enjoy the works of Vern Poythress? His math and logic books helped me get through a few college courses.

Presbyterianism is soulless. The only church service I have ever stood up and walked out of in disgust was OPC

Presbyterian authors are fascinating. A lot of the best Anglo authors had some sort of background with it even if they turned their backs on orthodox Calvinism. I think there are even some Frenchies such as Gide who had a similar background.

Tbh the Catholic Church today isn't too different from Presbyterianism. Orthodoxy is the only religion that seems to have some sort of glamor now that trad Catholicism is out of fashion.

We lift our massive Reformation Study Bibles as we sing psalms.

What are the theological differences between the Westminster Shorter Catechism and the Heidelberg Catechism?

>> No.22011182

>>22009744
I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
Our Trinity Psalter Hymnal has both the Heidelberg and Westminster in the back since it was a joint effort between us and some Dutch Reformed.
