Savoy Declaration

The Savoy Declaration is a Presbyterian confession of faith written in 1658, summarizing core Christian beliefs in a way aligned with Reformed theology. It was created to guide church members and clergy on doctrinal matters, emphasizing the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of faith and grace. The declaration reflects Protestant ideas and offers a systematic summary of essential Christian doctrines, helping unify beliefs within the church community, particularly in England and Scotland during the 17th century.
