What it is

Written originally as its author's private testament, and adopted across Switzerland, Scotland, Hungary, Poland, and Bohemia within a few years.

Why it lasted

The most widely received Reformed confession of the century, and notable for beginning with the claim that the preaching of the word is the word of God.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
