Belgic Confession

The Confession of Faith, popularly known as the Belgic Confession, is a doctrinal standard document to which many Reformed churches subscribe. The Confession forms part of the Three Forms of Unity of the Reformed Church,^[1] which are also the official subordinate standards of the Dutch Reformed Church.^[2][3] The confession's chief author was Guido de Brès, a preacher of the Reformed churches of the Netherlands, who died a martyr to the faith in 1567, during the Dutch Reformation.^[4] De Brès first wrote the Belgic Confession in 1559.^[5]
