Westminster Standards Upgrade
Surprisingly, all Logos currently offers in terms of the Westminster Standards are the Larger and Shorter Catechisms and the American Revision of the Confession of Faith. I would love to see the full set, listed here.
Especially:
- Westminster Confession of Faith (original 1646 edition - we still use this in the UK)
- The Directory for the Publick Worship of God
- The Directory for Family-Worship
- The Form of Presbyterial Church Government
- The Confession of Faith of the Kirk of Scotland: Or, The National Covenant
- The Solemn League and Covenant
Not forgetting:
- The Sum of Saving Knowledge (written by David Dickson & James Durham. M'Cheyne converted while reading it).
- To The Christian Reader, Especially Heads of Families
- Mr. Thomas Manton's Epistle to the Reader
They're all available free online (via the first link) but I'd pay to be able to have them in Logos.

I'd also like the Catechisms to be reformatted to remove the giant "Q" and "A" graphics for each question.

Totally agreed Todd, looks very dated. That was part of the reason for my 3 star review here.

I agree. The Westminster Standards in Logos are very dated in format, and not very usable. I would like to see them also made parallel resources (e.g. the sections Creation, Providence, the Sacraments, etc. link to each other in the documents).

Yes, I agree this is important, particularly a re-formatting of the Confession and Catechisms, and the Directory of Public Worship. And whilst it's not part of Westminster Standards, I'd also love to see the 1689 Baptist Confession officially in Logos (I have it as a PB). The Savoy Declaration is also important, but at least that's accessible in Creeds and Confessions. Is it time for a Statements of Faith community pricing?

I completely agree. We need a resource the contains all the Westminster documents, including the subordinate standards. I noticed this a while back and will definitely get this gap filled.
In the meantime, Schaff's Creeds of Christendom vol. 3 does provide both versions of the Westminster Confession (the 1647 and the American versions). And, as Mark Barnes noted, the Savoy Declaration and the 1688 Baptist Confession are also available in this volume.
Be on the look out for the Reformed Confessions of the 16th and 17th Centuries in English Translation (4 vols.) on pre-pub in the near future. This will be a comprehensive compilation of the Reformed Confession from those centuries.
Thanks for these great observations.

Thanks for the reply Christian.
I take it that the "Reformed Confessions of the 16th and 17th Centuries in English Translation" will be the one edited by James T. Dennison mentioned here?
As that doesn't have any of the additional Westminster standards mentioned in the initial post, will that gap be filled (as you put it) by a different resource?

Yes, there should be quite a bit of Westminster stuff coming your way in the next few weeks, including the Westminster Confession, Larger and Shorter Catechisms, as well as the subordinate standards.

Good work!
I've highlighted a few other works by/about Westminster Divines here which have been languishing in CP for a while and need a bit of help!0
