The First London Confession of Faith of 1644

Comprehensive Edition (2022)

Contact

It is perhaps the most independent of the Baptist Confessions, and is one of the noblest productions ever put forth by them. […]
The Confession, which appeared in print in 1644, created great surprise by its orthodoxy, sanity, and moderation. So favorable was the impression made that opponents of the Baptists could scarcely believe that these articles fairly represented their views. They elicited much favorable comment, but of course occasioned criticism also.

—William Joseph McGlothlin Baptist Confessions of Faith, Philadelphia: American Baptist Publication Society, 1911, p. 170 & 189
