A book published by the Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company in 1967, arguing against the adoption of the proposed Confession of 1967 by the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Van Til held that the proposed confession gave expression to, and was based on, a new theology founded on a new and relativistic view of truth. He surveys the thinking and writing of several of its contributors, traces its theological background, and speculates on how further confessions in later decades would develop.
