Westminster Confession including Catechisms

I've been searching and asking support and haven't really found a definitive answer. Please forgive me if this has been answered already. And if this is the wrong place to ask this type of question, please tell me where is the best place to post it.

Logos web page says the Westminster Confession including the Catechisms includes the Scripture Proofs for the Shorter and Larger Catechisms. But does anyone know if it includes the Scripture Proofs for the Confession itself? I know that the web page does not explicitly state that it includes the Scripture Proofs but does anyone have this resource who can tell me whether it has the Proofs or not?

Hey Scott,

Welcome to the Logos forums.

Here is a screen shot I took for you. The scripture references are links.

Welcome to the forums Scott,

The simple answer to your question is yes, it is included in the text. Here is the most famous example:

THE
LARGER CATECHISM

Question 1

What is the chief and highest end of man?
Man’ s chief and highest end is to glorify God, (Rom. 11:36, Cor. 10:31) and fully to enjoy him forever. (Ps. 73:24–28, John 17:21–23)

Excellent! Thanks Bruce and Bill!

I even called Logos sales and all they could do was look on the web page and tell me that it didn't actually say it included the Scripture Proofs so therefore it probably did not.

Again, thanks!!!

Edit: Bruce, It is nice to see how the links are done but the web page does say the Catechisms included the Scripture Proofs. Bill, thanks much for the screen shot of the Confession with the embedded links. I wish they'd show something like both of those on the web page as examples of what is included.

The proofs included with the Logos version are not the same ones used in the version published by the OPC which is also generally used within the PCA also. While there is a good bit of overlap, the references are not identical. Probably not a big deal for many people unless they need to use the proofs within a denominational context, but it is something to be aware of.

includes the Scripture Proofs for the Shorter and Larger Catechisms.

IF we are saying that the resource has the Scripture references then do we need to know what version of the Bible they used to get the Scripture Proofs that they used?? [use a different version get a different reading]

I prefer to use the same version - for commentaries and monographs as well. but correct prioritization is a tedious bore.

And it is sometimes fun figuring out what version the author did their thinking in. [not necessarily the one they quote] I have a layout that I call multi. It has several of the important English translations and a couple that are under appreciated. Then as I am reading along in two commentaries that seem to differ I can sometimes figure out what translation or Bible text family the authors thought in. And sometimes understand why they differ.
