"It's a three-year seminary education distilled in five volumes and it costs a whole lot less. You can spend tens of thousands of dollars and consign three years of your life to full-time study at a Bible college or seminary, or you can buy this 5-volume set and read it at your own pace. You will be rewarded many times over." -American Vision President Gary DeMar

American Vision became the first publisher since 1731 to print an original, comprehensive commentary on one of the most revered resources in all of Christian theology: The Westminster Larger Catechism.

Few other documents come close to touching the comprehensive nature of The Westminster Larger Catechism, and yet this treasure of biblical study has suffered a drought of scholarship for the past two centuries.

Even while a renewed interest in the Reformers spreads across the globe, taking root in families, communities, and even whole nations, ministers and laymen alike have still had no access to modern scholarship on the most magisterial and rigorous of all Reformation texts.

Until now.

American Vision is proud to introduce the most exhaustive commentary on The Westminster Larger Catechism ever written, and a new work for the church in the 21^st century: Pastor Joseph C. Morecraft's five-volume masterpiece, Authentic Christianity.

Drawing from over four decades of study as a student, minister, teacher, and father, Pastor Morecraft directs today's Christians to the foundations of a true and consistent framework of biblical thought.  Through a diligent exegesis of the whole counsel of God, and a commitment to the supremacy of the scriptures in faith and practice, Pastor Morecraft has produced an enduring contribution to the tradition of Christian scholarship.  Authentic Christianity dissects and explains the teachings of this oft-neglected encyclopedia of biblical truth for today's readers in language they can understand.

20 years in the making, Morecraft's treatise devotes over 4,000 pages to topics ranging from personal piety and communion with God to the Christians duty to the civil magistrateand everything in between. Do you want answers to these questions?

• Just how thorough are the Ten Commandments?
• What all are we praying for when we say, "Hallowed be Thy name"?
• Is there a right way to preach?
• What does the victory of the church entail?
• How do the different persons in the Trinity work together?
• How important are the sacraments, and what do they actually do?

But what of God's revelation and the inspiration of the Scriptures?

Or God's sovereignty, and how His providence works alongside men and angels?

And what about the state: Do governments have responsibilities before God?

Its all here.

A thorough compendium of the theology, ethics, and worldview of the Reformers, Authentic Christianity is directed at the layman just as much as the minister or student.

The five-volume set comes complete with a CD-Rom containing a digital version of the entire commentary completely searchable and linked throughout so every paragraph in the 4,600-page set is just a click away.

Your seminary education is waiting.

Morecraft III (Th.D., Whitefield Theological Seminary) is the founding pastor of Chalcedon Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia, where he has ministered for over 36 years.  The author of How God Wants Us to Worship Him and With Liberty and Justice For All: Christian Politics Made Simple, Dr. Morecraft is a popular conference speaker and guest lecturer on political, historical, and theological issues.

From the Back Cover: "Not since 1731 has the Reformed world seen a comprehensive commentary on its most detailed standard of faith, The Westminster Larger Catechism. Even that earlier two-volume masterpiece by Thomas Ridgeley does not rival the depth and breadth of this contribution to Reformed doctrine provided by Rev. Joseph C. Morecraft, III. Culminating a lifetime of learning, preaching, and pastoral care, this five-volume work incorporates the most stalwart of Reformed theology from recent centuries as well as past masters, and exegetes the teachings of the Catechism through potent insight, consistent application, and relentless recourse to God's Word. In a time when the church faces many doctrinal challenges, Morecraft's Commentary calls her back to the foundations of the Reformed faith, directing her to the spiritual power of God's Word as taught in the Larger Catechism. In a time when even the Reformed lose heart and begin to tinker and modify their understanding of their own standards, Morecraft's Commentary directs us to a clear confession of faith. In these volumes, Authentic Christianity: An Exposition of the Theology and Ethics of the Westminster Larger Catechism, as he demonstrates, we find relevant solutions to the challenges we face, and the power to transform individuals, families, and entire cultures today."
