The Thirty-Nine Articles were established in 1563 to define the central doctrine of the Church of England in relation to both Calvinistic doctrine and the Roman Catholic Church. Thomas Cranmer wrote 42 articles in 1552, but they were not enforced until a convocation of the church that met years later and approved only 39 of the articles. The articles were incorporated into the Book of Common Prayer as part of a legal obligation to adhere to the articles. Today, the articles remain a secondary confession of the Anglican faith.
The Select Works on the Thirty-Nine Articles collection contains 22 volumes of notes, commentaries, and studies on the Thirty-Nine Articles. The texts included in the collection represent the best of nineteenth- and twentieth-century scholarship, featuring influential thinkers such as Edward Arthur Litton, G. F. Maclear, Arthur J. Tait, William Wilson, Gilbert Burnet, and Edgar C. S. Gibson.
