Creeds, Confessions, & Catechisms

These definitions came from McClintock & Strong's Cyclopedia and were compared with definitions found in divers places.

Creed- a formal statement of Christian beliefs, especially the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed.

Confession- a collection of the articles of belief of any Church.

Catechism- (in the ecclesiastical sense), a book of Christian instruction, put forth under the authority of the Church, for the oral instruction of children and proselytes. Generally, at the present day, the Catechism is in the form of question and answer.
