Scots Confession

The Scots Confession, written in 1560, is a foundational document of the Scottish Reformation, expressing the beliefs of the Protestant Reformed Church in Scotland. Authored byJohn Knox and others, it outlines key Christian doctrines, emphasizing the authority of Scripture, justification by faith, and the sovereignty of God. The Confession was significant in establishing the distinct identity of the Presbyterian Church and shaping Scotland's religious landscape. It affirmed a break from Catholic traditions, advocating for a simpler, more direct relationship with God, and laid the groundwork for future Reformed theology in Scotland and beyond.
