The Thirty-Nine Articles form the basic doctrinal beliefs of the Church of England. During the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, drafted several statements of faith for adoption by the newly-Protestant Church of England. When Elizabeth I returned England to Protestantism after the reign of Queen Mary, a new version was commissioned, based on Cranmer's work. Originally written in Latin in 1563, the Thirty-Nine Articles were translated into English and adopted by Parliament in 1571.
The Thirty-Nine Articles Reviews
-
The problem with this document is less about what it says and more so what it does not say. How can you expect to have any kind of substantial or meaningful unity in truth with this document? It is no surprise that the Anglican church fell apart
-
The Westminster Confession for juniors! In some ways, I actually think it is a bit better. For instance, it is a shame the WCF does not have the article expressly re-affirming the early creeds. On other issues, however, the WCF is a marked improvement.
-
Some interesting stuff. All in all its pretty weak with no direct scripture referenced.
-
Missed the mark on some important distinctions, but thorough in others. A step above other documents like the 1689 LBCF.
