Scots Confession

Scots Confession

▪ Scottish history
Latin  Confessio Scoticana,  

      first confession of faith of the Scottish Reformed Church, written primarily by John Knox (Knox, John) and adopted by the Scottish Parliament in 1560. It was a moderate Calvinist statement of faith in 25 articles, although it stressed the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist more than later Reformed creeds did.

      The Second Scots Confession, also called the King's Confession and the National Covenant (1581), was a supplement to the First Scots Confession. It was a strongly antipapal statement adopted by the king, council, and court and by all the Scottish people in 1581. It was also made a part of the National Covenant of 1638. The Scots Confession was superseded by the Westminster Confession in 1647.
