List of Confessions

[Henoch]

Grace to you and Peace, Brethren
I was just reading the Heidelberg confession and I like the way things are explained therein with clarity and simplicity. I think learning and memorising the answers with the verse references could thoroughly equip us to defend our faith against false doctrine. The other confessions I seem to know are the Westminster's standards and I think the Augsburg confession. Do you guys have like a comprehensive list of historical catechisms/confessions where I can learn from?

Not sure if this is exhaustive, but it's pretty close!

The Dennison set is extensive, but it's not exhaustive by far. Dutch scholar William Heijting produced two substantial volumes containing confessions just from the Reformation in the Netherlands.

He did say "comprehensive."

But seriously, I do think that many people underestimate the number of confessions and catechisms that were produced during the Reformation. The number is staggering.
