<transcy>Baptist Confession of Faith and Doctrine (La confession de foi et la doctrine baptistes)</transcy>

In recent years, we have witnessed a real resurgence of interest in the Reformed faith in Francophone evangelical circles. We have seen this interest materialize through a denominational approach among more and more Christians and churches. The denominational approach is not just about personally confessing your faith through doctrinal statements, but doing so in concert with the Church.

The Church is not called to reinvent Christianity with each generation, but to confess from generation to generation "the faith which has been handed down to the saints once and for all" (Jud 3). It must pass on to new believers this heritage founded in biblical doctrine. Confessions of faith and catechisms that are part of recognized Christian orthodoxy are excellent educational tools for deepening and communicating biblical teaching.

In this collection, we present to you three documents which simultaneously integrate universal Christian doctrine, the essentials of the Protestant Reformation and the peculiarities of the Baptist faith. These documents are sufficiently detailed to clearly communicate the fundamental articles of the Christian faith, without being exhaustive or overly pointed in all the theological details.
