The Book of Confessions. Presbyterian Church General Assembly. 1994/1999. 378 pages. [Source: Bought]
What you see is what you get. This is....you guessed it...a book of confessions. (Confessions including creeds, confessions, catechisms, declarations, and statements of faith.) Included in this one are the following:
The Nicene Creed
The Apostles' Creed
The Scots Confession
The Heidelberg Catechism
The Second Helvetic Confession
The Westminster Confession of Faith
The Shorter Catechism (Westminster)
The Larger Catechism (Westminster)
The Theological Declaration of Barmen
The Confession of 1967
There are references/cross references which could be used by those with the intent to study the documents, to verify that the statements are accurately reflecting Scripture. (I didn't look up references.)
Some of these are fairly common and well known. A few of these are lesser known. Some are short. Some are long. All are introduced.
My absolute favorites are The Scots Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism.
I don't know if church banners are still a thing or not. But in the 1990s, I think they definitely were. There is a banner for the creeds/confessions.
