description: The Westminster Confession of Faith is a Reformed confession of faith in the Calvinist theological tradition. Although drawn up by the 1646 Westminster Assembly largely of the Church of England it became and remains the 'subordinate standard' of doctrine in the Church of Scotland and has been influential within Presbyterian churches worldwide.In 1643 the English Parliament called upon learned godly and judicious Divines to meet at Westminster Abbey in order to provide advice on issues of worship doctrine government and discipline of the Church of England. Their meetings over a period of five years produced the confession of faith as well as a Larger Catechism and a Shorter Catechism. For more than three centuries various churches around the world have adopted the confession and the catechisms as their standards of doctrine subordinate to the Bible.This Kindle edition is based on the transcribed text of the Confession at Reformed.org as well as pieces from the 1658 book The Humble advice of the Assembly of divines by authority of Parliament sitting at Westminster : concerning a Confession of faith ; with the quotations and texts of Scripture annexed ; presented by them lately to both Houses of Parliament available at http://www.archive.org/details/humble....
