Presbyterian doctrine cannot be reduced to three basic beliefs. The various forms of Presbyterianism are rooted in the Reformed Tradition of the Protestant faith. Presbyterians adhere to creeds and confessions that are included in the Book of Confessions. These are not scripture or holy texts but nine statements by the Church from different eras of history, responding to specific issues of the time. Some of these include the Scots' Confession, the Westminster Confession, the Barmen Declaration, the Confession of 1967 and a Brief Statement of Faith of 1983.
