Description

Helvetic Confessions, the name of two documents expressing the common belief of the Reformed churches of Switzerland.

The Second Helvetic Confession (Latin: Confessio Helvetica posterior) was written by Bullinger in 1562 and revised in 1564 as a private exercise.

It came to the notice of Elector Palatine Frederick III, who had it translated into German and published.

It gained a favorable hold on the Swiss churches, who had found the First Confession too short and too Lutheran.

It was adopted by the Reformed Church not only throughout Switzerland but in Scotland (1566), Hungary (1567), France (1571), Poland (1578), and next to the Heidelberg Catechism is the most generally recognized confession of the Reformed Church. (courtesy of wikipedia.com)
