In 1643 when the Long Parliament of England called the Westminster
Assembly to produce the Westminster Confession, it also asked for a
directory of "catechising." The Assembly asked Herbert Palmer to
produce a draft of the Larger Catechism. Robert Baillie and other
Scottish delegates found the work disappointing. In December 1643 a
committee was formed to write the Catechism. In January 1647 the
Assembly gave up writing one catechism and split it into two. The
Westminster Shorter Catechism was to be "easier to read and concise
for beginners" and the Larger Catechism was to be "more exact and
comprehensive." The Catechism was completed by the Westminster
Assembly in 1647. It was then adopted by the General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland in 1648 and by the Presbyterian Synod of New
York and Philadelphia in 1788.
