Confessional Bibliology is a theological conviction that affirms God’s providential preservation of scripture as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the 2nd London Baptist Confession:

“The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New Testament in Greek (which, at the time of the writing of it, was most generally known to the nations), being immediately inspired by God, and, by his singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical; so as, in all controversies of religion, the church is finally to appeal unto them.” [I.8]

Because this position is pre-modern, and advocates for the “traditional” text of scripture, it appeals to Christians from a variety of ecclesiastical backgrounds. This site exists to point inquirers to the most trusted resources presently available from a decidedly Reformed and confessional perspective.
