The Westminster
Confession of Faith (1646) is a time tested affirmation of the beliefs
of the Presbyterian Church. We also recommend the Savoy
Declaration of Faith and Order (1658), which modified the Westminster
Confession to reflect congregational church polity. The following list of
questions is from the document commonly known as the "Westminster Shorter
Catechism". The catechism was developed as a teaching tool for the
educators of the day. It was used to instruct the youth on the teachings of the
Westminster Confession. Today, we might call this a "Christianity
FAQ". The questions on this page link to the "Westminster
Catechism Project" as posted online by the Bible Presbyterian Church
website. We've taken some liberty with the original text of the questions to
enhance readability for the modern reader. It's one of our core values at
Xristos to compliment and not to duplicate the good work of others in the body
of Christ. Accordingly, we have linked to their answers with their permission.
It's our intention to provide an even more "contemporary"
Christian FAQ in the future.
