Second Scots Confession
Quick Summary
The Second Scots Confession, also known as the King's Confession, was adopted in 1581 as a supplement to the First Scots Confession. It was a strongly anti-papal statement that reaffirmed the Reformed faith and Presbyterian discipline. This confession was a significant document in the history of Scottish Protestantism, emphasizing the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist more than later Reformed creeds. It was later incorporated into the National Covenant of 1638 and was eventually superseded by the Westminster Confession in 1647.123
