Latimer Trust: News: Review of Gerald Bray's XXXIX Articles

Latimer Trust: News

"A brilliant resource for the study of authentic, biblical and evangelical Anglicanism" - That is The Faith We Confess - An Exposition of the 39 Articles by Gerald Bray according to Mark Thompson in his blogspot of 26th January 2010

He continues; His recently published study of the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Faith we Confess: An Exposition of the Thirty-nine Articles (London: Latimer Trust, 2009) should be included on the reading lists of every Anglican theological college.

Gerald's book is delightfully accessible and yet displays both theological depth and historical sensitivity. Following introductory chapters on the nature of the Articles as statements of doctrine, the origin , revision and structure of the Articles, and a very helpful bibliography on the subject, the book turns to the exposition of each article in three to five pages, exposing the theological intent and biblical basis for what was said and commenting on relevant historical considerations (e.g. dependence upon and development of classic credal statements, etc.). There are also valuable appendices on official declarations about the Articles and the practice of subscription.
