The Swiss Confession

The Swiss Confession, formally known as the "Confession of Faith" or "Confession of Zurich," was a document created in 1549 by Swiss Protestant Reformers, notably Heinrich Bullinger. It articulates the beliefs and doctrines of the Reformed tradition, addressing issues like the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, and the sacraments. This confession aimed to unify different Protestant communities in Switzerland and clarify their stance in the context of the ongoing Reformation. It serves as a historical testament to the theological debates of the time and laid groundwork for future Reformed churches.
