(Includes "Confessional Index of the Protestant Churches of America.")
A collection of the statements of belief of the major Protestant denominations to serve the "growing need in the ecumenical movement" (Introduction). Divided into two parts: "European Reformation Movements" and the "Free Church Tradition." The documents reprinted include creeds, catechisms, articles, etc. Reflecting on the fragmentation of Christianity represented here, one reviewer states, "Altogether it is probably better to have such a book than not" (Jubilee, XVI [June, 1968], p. 46). Analytic index.
