The other two subordinate doctrinal standards are the Westminster Larger Catechism and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Other denominations hold the Confession and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms as subordinate doctrinal standards as well, such as the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). These documents are subordinate in as much as the ultimate authority is the Bible. The recommended hard copy Westminster Confession of Faith, and the official document of the PCA and OPC, is as follows: The Westminster Confession of Faith, Including the Larger Catechism and Shorter Catechism with Scripture Proofs, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 2007. The numerous Scripture references throughout the Confession, as well as the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, provide support for the position that these documents give clear expression to what is taught in the Bible.
