==References == | <p> Are statements of doctrine very similar to Creeds, but usually longer and polemical, as well as didactic; they are in the main, though not exclusively, associated with Protestantism; the 16th century produced many, including the <i> Sixty-seven Articles </i> of the Swiss reformers, drawn up by Zwingli in 1523; the <i> Augsburg [[Confession]] </i> of 1530, the work of Luther and Melanchthon, which marked the breach with Rome; the <i> Tetrapolitan Confession </i> of the German [[Reformed]] Church, 1530; the <i> Gallican Confession </i> , 1559; and the <i> Belgic Confession </i> of 1561. In Britain the <i> Scots Confession </i> , drawn up by John Knox in 1560; the <i> Thirty-nine Articles </i> of the Church of [[England]] in 1562; the <i> Irish Articles </i> in 1615; and the <i> [[Westminster]] Confession of Faith </i> in 1647; this last, the work of the Westminster [[Assembly]] of Divines, has by its force of language, logical statement, comprehensiveness, and dependence on Scripture, commended itself to the Presbyterian Churches of all English-speaking peoples, and is the most widely recognised [[Protestant]] statement of doctrine; it has as yet been modified only by the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which adopted a Declaratory Statement regarding certain of its doctrines in 1879, and by the Free Church of Scotland, which adopted a similar statement in 1890. </p> | ||
