Up until the second half of the 20th century, the American
Presbyterian creed has been the confessional tradition of the
Westminster Assembly (1643-48). Presbyterians in America adopted
the Westminster Confession nd Catechisms in 1729 through a
compromise measure that produced ongoing debate for the next
hundred years. Differences over the meaning of confessional
subscription were a continuing cause of the Presbyterian schisms of
1741 and 1837. The Presbyterian Creed is a study of the factors
that led to the 19th-century Old School/New School schism and the
Presbyterian reunions of 1864 and 1870. In these American
Presbyterian reunions, American Presbyterians finally reached
consensus on the meaning of confessional subscription which had
previously been so elusive.
