Westminster Standards

The Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism and Shorter Catechism are the 1647 text, which is in the public domain. Where the PCA follows the American revision (WCF 20.4, 23.3, 25.6, 31.1–2), the wording shown here differs.

Three Forms of Unity

The Belgic Confession is the traditional English translation of the text revised by the Synod of Dort (1618–19), with its Scripture proofs; it is in the public domain. The Heidelberg Catechism and Canons of Dort are the English texts collected in the Creeds.json project.

Proof texts

The Scripture proofs in the reader are the historic ones printed with each document. Those for the Westminster Confession, Larger Catechism and Heidelberg Catechism come from Creeds.json; those for the Shorter Catechism from the Reformed Standards compendium (Apache License 2.0); those for the Belgic Confession from the confession project's transcription.
