[Glossary] Definition of the Word of God

1. (Clark 1965, 13): "At any rate, we today, as well as the Reformers, need to know what various writers and various religions mean by the phrase the Word of God. There is no ambiguity in the Calvinistic position. The Word of God is the sixty-six books of the Bible."

In the Westminster Confession of Faith 1.2, the Word of God is defined extensionally by naming each and every one of the sixty-six books of the Bible.
