The WCF Greater Catechism. Before I put a lot of work into this one, I would like some comment about the format.

What do you think?

Looks good. Nice work.

Also, I have a question Ted..

Question 15: What is the work of creation?
Answer: The work of creation is that wherein God did in the beginning, by the word of his power, make of nothing the world, and all things therein, for himself, within the space of six days, and all very good.
Are these consecutive 24 hour days, or was the measure of 'space' used for some special reason (like openness to the framework interpretation)?

Thanks

It's open to interpretation, but not to be taken beyond scripture. Scripture is clear, there was a six day creation, making up six time periods and a seventh when the the Lord rested. I have run into two ideas about this, 1) six literal days of creation making up a period of time when the earth rotated six times, it is unknown how long that took. 2) Six figurative days, where it is unknown what period of time actually past during those days. Most of this view take it to be of a very long period of time. I am of the view of the second idea. When the WCF was written the first idea was the prevailing view.

As with all the creeds there is some latitude of interpretation. The idea is not to establish a Systematic theology where all must believe exactly the same, but instead it establishes boundaries that we are to remain within. An orthodoxy is established, and a Systematic theology is developed from that but not required. Traditionally there has been great latitude in the Systematics of various theologians and thinkers in the Reformed church. But the catechisms and creeds are almost taught universally in some form or another.
