Overview

The 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer stimulated a renewed interest in its teaching and fundamental contribution to Anglican identity. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and others involved in the English Reformation believed that the content and shape of the services set out in the Prayer Book were vital ways to teach congregations biblical truth and principles of the Gospel. These Latimer Trust Studies focus on the formularies of the Church of England and the elements of the different services within the Prayer Book, highlighting both what those services teach about the Christian faith and how they shape the practice of that faith. As well as providing an account of the origins of the Prayer Book services, these texts are designed to offer practical guidance on how such services may be used in Christian ministry today.

The Faith We Confess: An Exposition of the 39 Articles

Author: Gerald Bray
Publisher: Latimer Trust
Publication Date: 2009
Pages: 236

The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion are one of the three historic ‘formularies’ of the Church of England. Along with the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal they gave the church its distinctive identity at the time of the Reformation, an identity which has had a formative influence on worldwide Anglicanism. Many parts of the Anglican Communion some have returned to these sources to satisfy a genuine hunger for both Anglican tradition and sound Christian doctrine; this book seeks to contribute to this dialogue. Although the Articles have had a checkered history, the intention of The Faith We Confess: An Exposition of the 39 Articles is to take them as they now stand and interpret what they mean for us today. Historical circumstances cannot be avoided completely and are mentioned as necessary, but the main emphasis throughout this text is theological. Author Gerald Bray explores this question: “what do the Articles say about what Anglicans believe and how should they be understood and applied today?”

Gerald Bray is director of research for the Latimer Trust and research professor at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, in Birmingham, Alabama.
