## What is Christian Creeds & Confessions?

This application provides a searchable library of the most universally used Christian creeds, confessions and catechisms of the Continental Reformed and English Presbyterian churches.

Included by default are the three ancient creeds (the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed); the 'Three Forms of Unity' (the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort); and the Westminster Standards (the Westminster Confession and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms.)   Many additional documents may be downloaded from within the application, including a number from non-Reformed traditions.

Any scripture references provided in the original document are hyperlinked and may be viewed within the app itself (KJV), or by linking to a user-specified native bible app or external web site.  A full-text search capability (with editable search history) allows you to instantly find words, phrases and scripture references within a single document or across the entire library.  

This application will help anyone better understand and appreciate the depth and richness of the Christian faith as it has been historically understood.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!!!

*2024-09-01, version 2.2.3*

This app and ReadingPlan (by the same developer) are outstanding apps that are helping me in my Christian walk to study the scriptures more effectively and to understand doctrine better through the creeds and confessions. I am so thrilled to have these two apps in my toolbox!

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2023-07-23, version 2.2.3*

This app allows the user to load many of the crucial Christian confessions onto your device so they are at your finger tips. The confessions are searchable - a great help when you are looking for topics or themes. Any Christian from new believer to ministry worker would find this app useful.

### 1/5 — No update?

*2023-02-28, version 2.2.3*

I’ve used this app for years and today it’s just blank when I open it. What happened? I can’t report it as a problem with Apple because I didn’t “purchase” anything.

### 5/5 — It’s working!

*2022-07-13, version 2.2.3*

All I did was delete it and reinstall it. It is working on my iPhone. This is THE best app!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2022-03-27, version 2.2.3*

Thank you James for providing such a useful resource, probably among the most worthwhile reading second to the Word itself, and with very helpful search functionality both within a document and across the library. It’s been a blessing to me and I’m sure others as well. And all these without the need to show advertisements.

### 5/5 — This is the catechism app I point all my friends to

*2021-10-12, version 2.2.3*

This app has great resources. I love that you can add to the list of pre-listed documents. The search feature is excellent. I also love that you can link your favorite Bible app, so you can quickly check the Bible verse references in the footnotes. This is the only creeds and confessions app that I recommend to my friends.

### 2/5 — Argh…

*2021-09-18, version 2.2.3*

This app was nice until the copy/paste feature was removed. Its hard to believe the copyright on a 300+ yr old document is still binding. Sad.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2021-07-25, version 2.2.3*

Having the creeds, confessions, and catechisms all available is excellent.  However, the one drawback to this app is the inability to set your own desired translation for the scripture proofs.  Everything is set to ESV.  A far inferior and ever-changing translation.

### 5/5 — All in One Place

*2020-09-16, version 2.2.3*

This is app clean and easy to use, and has added tons of confessional literature over time. By default, you can read the most well-known ecumenical creeds, the 3 Forms of Unity, and the Westminster Standards. But you can also add (using “Manage Documents”) much more from the Lutheran, Anglican, and Baptist traditions. There’s a lot here that I’ve never heard of! And it is free.

Many thanks go out to the developer James H. Price, who has clearly listened to his users. If you want to grow in your knowledge of the Bible while staying connected with your historical forbears, this is the perfect app.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2020-05-04, version 2.2.3*

Would be 5 stars if it wasn’t missing the 1689 LBCF
