Description: "Truth's Victory Over Error contains David Dickson's lectures on the Westminster Confession of Faith, delivered to the divinity students of Edinburgh University in the early 1650s. Here then is a commentary written just a few brief years after the Westminster Divines drew up their famous Confession of 1647 by one of their senior contemporaries. Dickson's comments reveal the burning issues of the day and supply fascinating insight into the robust theology of the Scottish Puritans"--Dust jacket.

"In preparing this re-issue...I have used both the 'pirated edition' published by George Sinclair as his own work in 1684 and the edition correctly attributing the authorship to David Dickson published by Robert Wodrow in 1726 (my copy was printed in 1749)"--P. xxxi.
